Book Description
Begun as a small-scale labour of love, Linux has blossomed into the world’s most versatile and flexible operating system. The reasons for its appeal are manifold: This open source OS allows numerous users to simultaneously work with multiple applications without experiencing any traffic problems, thus making it an ideal operating system for web servers. In addition, Linux is an extremely stable operating system that serves as a platform for an ever-growing number of quality applications. And not least, it’s free! You can download it for nothing from the Internet.

With Linux in easy steps, joining the Linux Revolution is as easy as one, two, three. Following its simple instructions, you can learn to install the operating system, configure the hardware, explore the desktop, and launch applications. This fully illustrated primer teaches you to climb the Linux directory tree, navigate with the File Manager, and much more. Its easy-to-understand tutorials guide you through the basics of the Open Office suite; creating and editing graphics; and even playing music and videos. Later chapters initiate you into advanced operations that can transform you into a SuperUser capable of refining the code yourself.

Linux in easy steps opens the door to a whole new world of digital possibilities! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Scott (London, England) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Linux in Easy Steps (In Easy Steps) (Paperback) Recommended beginner reading and preperation before venturing into the world of Linux. It's easy read, comprehensive, well presented and illustrated Offering a great overview and insight into; how to get started, Linux architecture, common applications usage and packed with plenty of cool tips and tricks. It also has the added bonus that it's free of technical jargon, that will make the transition to Linux that much smoother and a less painful experience! My only negative criticism is that the author primarily focuses on the Suse Linux distribution, but having said what you learn here can easily be applied to other distros.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Smith "chris0161" (Manchester, UK.) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Linux in Easy Steps (In Easy Steps) (Paperback) This book is the best introduction to Linux I have read, and I have read a few. The text is clear and the full colour illustrations look excellent. As others have stated it does focus on the SUSE distro but I would say that anyone looking to get into Linux will enjoy this book. What sets this book apart from other Linux books is it is actually enjoyable to read. Well worth a look.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Overall, usefull for any beginner but dont expect to be a "guru" at the end of it, as the front cover suggests.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
