Book excerpts:

Everyday Linux presented to you as a user's guide to installing and setting up the basics of Red Hat Linux first. You'll go through the installation process and setting up GNOME and some of your hardware components, learning about how your computer operates and what you can do with it now that you're running Linux. Then you'll be presented with several chapters detailing applications that you can install and use on your system, like the GIMP, Star Office, WordPerfect for Linux (and the whole suite of tools), various games and other amusements, Internet applications, and many more.

This book will equip you to understand the essentials of your Linux system, and it will provide plenty of help getting started with building your system. Many users are nervous about diving into Linux because they've spent so much time working with Windows or the MacOS and don't know that they can make the switch seamlessly. That's where the book come in. By following the guidelines in the book, you'll have your computer up and running in no time, with little to no trouble importing your files and other documents written and stored in another format.

Smile The real problem is that most of the ordinary people who could be benefitting from Linux don't *know* how easy it is. And that's the problem Ethan Metsger and Kathy Miles have set out to solve. With gentle introductions and step-by-step explanations, they demystify Linux and build the reader's confidence.

Confused This book may be a little too dated to be of practical use now. Still, it is one of the few books that does try to cover a number of the Linux desktop applications.

Well, from the looks of it, it's been expired for at least a month. Gone with the wind, I guess.

I'm not sure with the corresponding legal matters, but you can still accessed the book 'snapshot' at Internet Archive: WayBack Machine.

Good luck!
