**  TECHNOLOGY SPECIAL: LINUX KNOWHOW  **


Linux may not be the next Windows NT, but it is making its 
mark as a viable alternative to high-priced, commercial 
Unix implementations. With its finger on the pulse of the 
networking industry, Network Computing Online's UnixWorld 
has got Linux covered. Peruse the following archive
of hands-on tutorials and see just how easy it is to
harness the power of Linux.


Get acquainted with Linux in a comprehensive and concise 
introductory tutorial. You'll find out how Linux is being 
used, where to download it, and why it's a practical IT 
solution. Plus, you'll get connected with all of the latest 
Linux resources, including newsgroups, books, magazines, 
and mailing lists.

See that old 25MHz, 386-based PC? Yes, that's right, the 
one gathering dust over in the corner of the office. It 
can't run Windows 95, but it still boots -- surely it's not 
quite ripe for use as that proverbial boat anchor? In this 
series of articles, Paul Donne will show how such a modest 
box can do sterling work on your network -- providing 
Internet access, file and print services, and even firewall 
protection -- simply by adding Linux.

Learn to write and install a Linux device driver to control 
a hardware card. We detail what functions need to be written, 
outline the supporting kernel functions that are available, 
explain how to initialize the driver and how memory is 
requested and allocated in an efficient manner, and provide 
a "real" driver example.
