Is Linux ready for the desktop? You bet! This book covers everything to get you started, from what to expect installing Linux (including how to keep your Windows™, if you want) to Word Processing, surfing the web, email, the works. Written in Mr. Gagne’s usual crisp style it gets you through the technical parts without feeling technical. It’s a fun read and the CD will even let you try Linux out without installing anything on your PC. I’ve had Linux on my workstation for 8-9 years (before 1.0 came out, if you must know) so I know a bit about it. Two things about this book: 1) It is helpful and accurate, and 2) I still learned stuff. If you are thinking about ditching MS Windows this book will get you on the way. If you’re already using Linux get it for your friends.
