This books comes with a bootable CD. It didn’t work on an old

desktop system but it did work on my laptop. I was instantly in a Mandrake-like Linux environment.

This book is well written. It uses plain English so you don’t have to be a geek to understand it. It’s ideal for all levels of

audiences. I’d buy another book by this author. He’s good.

The coverage of this book is very thorough. It covers all the Linux applications the typical casual desktop user would use. If I were to nitpick I’d ask for more detail on configuring the network connection and the internet connection which is covered in the troubleshooting chapter.

I recommend this book to anyone who is considering Linux. I also

recommend this book to any novice to Linux. You don’t have to

already be computer savvy. I will continue to use this book even

after I’ve installed a different version of Linux. It has many

useful tips. If you are on the fence about Linux, this book will

make you a convert.
