Linux For Non-Geeks
This book is for any home user who has switched or is
thinking of switching to Linux. Based on Red Hat's Fedora
Core, Linux for Non-Geeks avoids geeky subjects like server
and network setup and concentrates on the subjects of
interest to the average home user: Installation, the
Internet, playing CDs and audio files, desktop
customization,
games, downloading software and fonts, USB
storage devices, printing, and more. Readers with only basic
experience with Windows or another Linux distribution will
learn how to do everything on their Linux machine that they
are used to doing with Windows. Includes a complete
installation of Fedora Linux on two CDs.
