Product Description
Laptops present unique challenges for Linux users. They use additional hardware and drivers, are used in changing environments, and require special security strategies. Mobile Linux takes on these challenges and gives you hints for selecting the best notebook for your needs, successfully installing Linux on your laptop, optimizing Linux performance, and troubleshooting problems that occur on the road. For the intermediate Linux user, this book is geared toward people who are familiar with Linux software because they use it on their desktops, but who are facing the challenge of running it smoothly on their laptop computers. It will be a valuable tool for companies and individuals alike.
