I’ve read a bunch of these linux walkthroughs now and I haven’t been impressed by them, this book included. The problem is that the coverage is too sweeping. There are too many screenshots and the coverage is way too broad. It’s unclear to me how simply booting up a Linux distribution and playing with it for a little while isn’t just as good as having this book walk you through it.

That being said, if you are really nervous about Linux and you want a canned walkthrough to show you how to install it and use the basics, then you should have a look at this book.
