Linux for Beginners
About the Book
Linux for Beginners is an engaging book that will help individuals get started with Linux. Many people have never used Linux, but they hear about it frequently and find it fascinating. Using Linux is considered as technically sophisticated, which contributes to its attractiveness. However, the majority of accessible training resources presume some amount of prior expertise, making them difficult for total beginners to follow. This book was meant to bridge that gap. It requires no prior expertise and allows you to get right in and begin studying the Linux operating system from the ground up.
In this book, you will learn about Linux, its roots, and how to use it. You will also be guided in deciding on whether Linux is the best option for you. Because Linux may not be suitable for everyone’s needs, this book will help you decide if it’s worthwhile to investigate further. Linux for Beginners is intended to be your first introduction to using Linux as your primary operating system.
