Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds

Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds is a detailed step-by-step guide to Linux and selected popular open source programs. It’s a gentle introduction for newcomers to Linux showing them how to perform common activities such as surfing the web, using email, instant message with friends, writing letters, creating spreadsheets, and enhancing digital photos.

The book explores a wide range of topics including:

  • Surfing the web.
  • File Management.
  • Music and Videos.
  • Playing Games.
  • Email, Organizers and Instant Messaging.
  • Office Suite.
  • The Command Line.

This book will not teach you how set up or administer Linux on a server. It is strictly for people who want to use Linux on their desktop. It’s targeted at Windows users who have heard of Linux and want to find out what all the fuss is about without committing a lot of time or hard-drive space in that endeavour.
