heavy book! January 4, 2009
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have to confess that I am not a fan of fat manuals. They are often difficult to use. I bought this in order to get my head around an operating systems which is entirely different to windows.
What inside?
CD/DVDs of different versions of linux. You can install them or create a boot disk to try each. There is a short section on each. But no comparison or explanation about which would suit you best.
There is some information about the terminal (like windows' DOS command window but more powerful). However is it not complete and there is no reference.
Linux is a range of operating systems, ALL of which are free, and more current. versions are available on the web. Tutorials are available free. The forums give free information.
Quite frankly I haven't found a use for it. I could have found use for a short book to help me choose which Linux.
I could have used a complete guide to the terminal commands but this isn't complete.
There is a history section but is a technical manual it resembles padding.
Overall its a very heavy book which you don't need and which ages rapidly.
Its now 2009 and I'm using it as a doorstop.
