SUSE Linux 9.3 For Dummies Review by SBJ400
Excellent for 1st time Linux users to learn with SUSE 9.3
If your new to Linux and want a nice package....
this book and Suse 9.3 would be the way to go.
Suse 9.3 is very much like Windows XP and this book will take you through it step by step. You will be up and running in a day and be very advanced after a weekend!
My father is 60 years old and barely knows computers or understands Windows XP. I gave him a copy of Suse 9.3 and this book for his birthday. Now, 2 months later, my father is actually teaching me tricks I did not know about!
This book goes over installation, navigating the environment, connecting to the internet, networking, setting up printers, applications, configuring your wireless network, and the list goes on and on.
It takes you through all the foundations of everything you need to know as a beginner. Once you get that down and if you desire to extend your knowledge and skills, you can pick up a more in-depth tome like the Linux Bible 2005 by Wiley publishing.
This book scratches the surface of all things Suse and Linux. It gives you an excellent overview and general amount of knowledge without overloading you. It is chock full of detailed screenshots, diagrams and step by step how-to sections that won't confuse you.
This book is a very pleasant surprise since most publishers are hesitant to publish a book on a specific Linux distro. They typically just go with "linux" and give general features and details but this mostly confuses the beginning Linux user and scares them off. SUSE 9.3 is popular and widespread enough to warrant it's own book.
Grab this book, buy a copy of SUSE 9.3 or just use the free version that is included with the book and try it out yourself.
Free yourself of the Microsoft shackles, enjoy free, open-source computing. Watch the speed of your old or new computers increase greatly and run more efficiently.
