Product: Linux All-in-One For Dummies

I took a Fedora 18 Linux class, had purchased this book to get up to speed a bit before class started. It was helpful, to a degree, demonstrating different Linux flavors. But the enclosed DVD and instructions required knowledge of hard drive partitions which I didn’t have, and assumed use of a computer with Windows already installed. I was afraid to damage my computer so I stopped. My class installed Linux on flash drives and external hard drives, so much easier! Avoids concerns about overwriting my hard drive or losing data. Now I’ve got some classroom experience with Linux and external hard drives (wow!) I can use book and DVD to broadened my experience.
