Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds Review by A Linux User
A great introductory Linux book
Of the books targeted at people who want to give Linux a try, I believe this is the best. It allows you to run Linux on your computer without having to install it and exposes you to many of the basics. (Note: it will not work equally well on all computers. I would say it has a high likelihood of success with a desktop PC and a low likelihood of success with a laptop. The reason is that the hardware used on laptops is more "specialized" in many respects than that used in desktop computers.)
Unlike many other computer books aimed at a "beginner" audience, Test Driving Linux does not start out almost "too easy" and then quickly turn so complex that the person becomes confused or discouraged. If you are thinking of "trying out Linux," I doubt that you could make a better choice than this book.
