What people are saying

LINUX is not for Dummies

User Review  - julann38 - Overstock.com

If you are just starting to try out LINUX, this book will help you to decide which one you want to use. It also has cheatsheets for commands, very helpful. The book will aide in teaching you the file system. If you are migrating from Windows, this book is a must have.
