Preface
You've probably heard about Linux from a magazine,
radio or TV program, or a friend. You're wondering
what Linux is about and whether you should give it a try. If so,
particularly if you currently use Microsoft Windows, this book was
written for you.
When the first edition of this book was being written, Linux was a
much talked about novelty. Today, Linux has invaded corporate
information technology departments, becoming a popular technology
used by hobbyists and professionals alike.
As predicted in the first edition of this book, Linux is becoming
easier to use. If you work with Microsoft Windows and have dabbled a
bit in MS-DOS or are curious about what happens inside Windows, you
already have the skills to install and configure Linux. Thousands of
people from all walks of life have already done so.
This book is based on Red Hat Linux, the most popular Linux
distribution. This book will
make your Linux journey easier by giving you the big picture,
providing you with step-by-step procedures, and getting you started
doing useful or fun activities such as word processing or games. This
book focuses on the needs of the new Linux user and on desktop Linux
applications. You'll learn about networks and
servers, but the details of those topics are left for more advanced
books.
