Written for relatively experienced personal computer users new to Linux, this book provides an introduction to the operating system and its functionality. Topics covered in the books 19 chapters include choosing the type of Linux distribution, installation, using the desktop and the command line, Linux accounts, file management, applications and programs, word processing, spreadsheets, graphics, printing, the Internet, multimedia, email and messaging, editing text files, and shell scripts.
