Moving to Linux, Second Edition: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye! (2nd Edition) Review by R. J. Bennett
Great book! Very beginner-friendly...
I had never used the Linux operating system before I bought this book. This book introduces all aspects of Linux in a way that is easy to understand. It comes with a CD that simulates having Knoppix (a distribution of Linux) loaded, and allows you to "test-drive" Linux without actually loading the operating system or making any changes to your existing Windows setup.
With detailed illustration (and a sense of humor), the author does a great job of helping a newbe become familiar with the Linux operating system. I ended up loading SUSE Linux 10.0 from Novell. There are a few small differences between SUSE and Knoppix (and the many other Linux distributions) but most of what is in the book still applies.
If you are considering Linux as your operating system, I would recommend this book.
