DESCRIPTION:
Very thorough! Christine Hall I had tried Linux previously and found the online assistance that I could find to be limited and like "finding a needle in a haystack". There are so many distributions of Linux available!

This is a GREAT start for linux newbies J Ken Kuzenski I needed to learn the basics of Linux quickly.

I've only scratched the surface of the book, but so far it's done a great job of telling me everything I needed to know and answering all my questions, quickly and easily. The DVD is exceedingly simple to use, and contains more than "all you'll need"--tons of material. You can install a number of different Linux distributions fr. "Give it a Look." according to Rande D. Schulze. I'm a Noob when it comes to code and config issues.I'm currently using this as a companion for "Beginning Ubuntu Linux".I havn't had much chance to make use of some of the more advanced sections, like programming. No book can cover 100% of every issue. "Linux for Dummies" comes darn close. Plus these folk do so in a "Soldier-Proof" format to keep you from being your own worst Complication.
