openSUSE Linux Unleashed presents comprehensive coverage of the community version
of SUSE Linux, one of the most popular and most complete Linux distributions
in the world.
This book provides detailed information on installing, using, and administering
openSUSE. You’ll learn how to unleash the vast array of software products
included in openSUSE so that you can use it as a desktop computer, as a professional
workstation, or as a powerful server.
openSUSE Linux Unleashed includes a broad range of coverage: from using software
you need everyday–such as email clients, web browsers, and productivity
software including the OpenOffice.org productivity suite–to configuring
and administering a wide range of network and server products, such as the Apache
web server, and MySQL database.
Additionally, this book provides details on openSUSE’s acclaimed YaST
administration tools, web programming, networking, and choosing from a wide
selection of graphical interfaces and desktop environments, including both KDE
and GNOME.
• Plan your openSUSE installation based on your computing needs
• Configure and use the X Window System–the Linux graphical interface–and
the two primary desktop environments for Linux–KDE and GNOME
• Run OpenOffice.org and other productivity tools
• Create your own websites and weblogs
• Manage the kernel and its modules

• Run the Apache web server
• Use the LAMP web programming suite: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and the scripting
languages Perl, Python, and PHP
• Play music, video, and games

DVD-ROM includes:
• The complete openSUSE 10.3 binary distribution–the equivalent of five
CDs–packed with thousands of applications and utilities
