❂   Linux for Dummies 9th Edition   ❂
by Richard Blum (Author)



One of the fastest ways to learn Linux is with this perennial favorite

Eight previous top-selling editions of Linux For Dummies can't be wrong. If you've been wanting to migrate to Linux, this book is the best way to get there. Written in easy-to-follow, everyday terms, Linux For Dummies 9th Edition gets you started by concentrating on two distributions of Linux that beginners love: the Ubuntu LiveCD distribution and the gOS Linux distribution, which comes pre-installed on Everex computers. The book also covers the full Fedora distribution.

Linux is an open-source operating system and a low-cost or free alternative to Microsoft Windows; of numerous distributions of Linux, this book covers Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Core Linux, and gOS Linux, and includes them on the DVD.
Install new open source software via Synaptic or RPM package managers
Use free software to browse the Web, listen to music, read e-mail, edit photos, and even run Windows in a virtualized environment
Get acquainted with the Linux command line

I read this book cover to cover hoping to learn a bit more about Linux than I've learned from just poking around on my own. In all honestly, I didn't learn a ton from this book that I didn't already know. I can't, however, blame the book for that. It is directed at people who are new to Linux. If you aren't incredibly tech savvy and want to jump into Linux (this is probably a minority demographic) then this is the book for you. If you're the average person getting into Linux who can handle booting to a Ubuntu CD and clicking your way through an install with half an ounce of intelligence then you can probably figure out just as much as this book teaches you on your own.
