I found this to be a gentle introduction to the world of Linux. The author has done a decent job in presenting an overview of Linux (which is easier said than done, since there is such a tremendous amount that could be covered). There is a copy of Linux on an included CD that allows Linux to be run from the CD without writing any data to one’s hard drive. However, files can be saved onto a USB drive (not included). This book can be a good first stepping stone into the world of Linux without the worry about potentially corrupting one’s hard drive due to installation issues. The author has clearly defined many terms. The index is reasonably complete. I recommend this book to anybody wanting to delve into the world of Linux without having to worry about installation issues.
