Book Overview

Most computer users utilize the Windows operating system. Today, however, a growing number are either moving to Linux or would like the option. One factor holding many people back is the fear of learning a new operating system and applications. This book uses a friendly style to walk the user through the transition from Windows to Linux, step-by-step. It covers all facets of Linux, including: installation, configuration, shell commands, KDE, GNOME, setting up a Linux Web server, and moving from software applications such as Photoshop to GIMP and Microsoft Office to Open Office. Moving From Windows to Linux teaches the average Windows user how to set up, maintain, and utilize all aspects of a Linux PC quickly and easily.

Very Good

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 20, 2004

I found this particular book to be remarkably easy to follow, accurate, informative, and generally a great help. I am not a computer professional by trade, and my only experience has been with Windows. But like many people I have been quite frustrated with Windows and wished to try Linux. With this book I was able to install Linux and to use it to do all the things I had previously done with Windows.

PRETTY GOOD

OUTSTANDING

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 5, 2004

I just finished this book and I have to say I am impressed. This book takes a Windows user step by step into the world of Linux. You are given the basics on the Linux operaring system, history, how to install it, etc. But most importantly, in my opinion, the author then shows you how to do practical things with Linux. He shows you how to use Open Office, GIMP, and several other programs. If you are using Windows, and want...
