Having loads of fun with your OS!

One of the lures of Microsoft is that it’s very simple. One of the reasons we choose to run Linux is the fact that it gets rid of all the extras that we have no real use for.

I have just entered into the arena of Linux and have needed a lot of help on how to get more out of my old 450 in the corner. The keys for me were things like terminal transparency, using things like Macromedia Flash in the environment and how to start applications automatically.

This book has made my life with Linux a lot easier.
