You've heard the stories of stability and ease of use. Still, for newbies,
getting their feet wet in the Linux waters for the first time can raise
uncertainty, especially with the Microsoft F.U.& D. advertising mantra.
This book will show the absolute newbie in a learn-by-doing format how to start
using Linux for everyday tasks, from installation of Fedora (based on Red Hat
Linux), to configuring and using the GNOME desktop. The layout of the
book is organized into projects, where the reader builds on their knowledge,
with lots of illustrations included. The book also includes a copy of Fedora
Linux, plus productivity software for email, the Internet, handling documents,
graphics, and more.
Written originally as a tutorial for his Mom, the
book is a practical guide for anyone wanting to get started with Linux, without
knowing how to go about doing it. Hat's
off to the author for making his first book a success in explaining the topic
in a focused and understandable way, with humor and style.
