This book is an excellent overview of Unix / Linux. The book begins with some of the short history of Unix / Linux and remember that is growing in popularity because it is more reliable, faster and cheaper than alternative offerings. The book is a kind of basic introduction to the command line. Even if you speak a bit of “KDE and Gnome GUI is aimed at the command line, and there are things traditional Unix.
There are three points that would make the book.
one. Like most of the books that says you can configure your system to dual boot Linux and Windows can run whenever you want, whenever you want. If you are a beginner, do not do. Setting up Linux on a different computer so that we should try to create all this and make it work. The book includes a Fedora (used by Red Hat) cores, along with instructions on how to install it. All you need to work is a Pentium II 400 MHz with 3 GB of disk. I bought this system in a thrift store recently for $ 55. The effort to dual boot multiple partitions is a value of $ 55.
2. This book is not about applications. If you want to run Star Office or any of the many applications you need another book or spend some “time on the web. The Fedora Core is certainly capable of handling just is not part of this book.
3. If you are a Mac OS X, and Linux has. All you need to start using Linux as an operating system is to start writing.
