I have read this book cover to cover. I am trained in computers and have been working with Linux now for over a year, and Windows six years.

Rating: - Great Book,
This is a great book whether you've are an intermediate Linux user or a true novice. I had used Linux on and off but not really dove in to it like I had with MS Windows.

After installation the screen flickered and ... Read More
