Linux For Dummies 6th edition..

    Welcome to the fascinating world of open source software that is Linux.
In this book, I introduce you to the wonders of the Linux operating
system, originally created as a labor of love by Linus Torvalds in the early
1990s. My goal is to initiate you into the rapidly growing ranks of Linux users
and enthusiasts busily rewriting the rules for the operating system marketplace.
If you’ve contemplated switching to Linux but find the prospect too forbidding,
you can relax. If you can boil water or set your alarm clock, you, too, can
become a Linux user. (No kidding!)

    When this book appeared in its first edition, Linux was an emerging phenomenon
that was neither terribly well known nor understood. In this edition —
for a new generation of Linux users — so much material is available that I have
steered this particular title toward what Linux is and how you can make the
best use of it on your desktop. To that end, these pages contain various online
resources, tips, and tricks, as well as more general instruction. If you’re looking
for material on servers, many other books can serve your needs.
I keep the amount of technobabble to a minimum and stick with plain English
as much as possible. Besides plain talk about Linux installation, boot-up, configuration,
and tuning, I include many examples, plus lots of detailed instructions
to help you build and manage your very own Linux machine with a
minimum of stress or confusion.
