About the Book

Voted "Best Operating System" of 1996 by InfoWorld magazine, Linux is finally going mainstream. It has a strong core of die-hard fans worldwide and has recently been picked as the system of choice in large corporations and government organizations such as Wells Fargo and the U.S. Postal Service. This free and open system, which puts a stable UNIX environment on PCs and networks, has been hailed as perhaps the only credible challenge to the Windows monopoly. Linux: Visual QuickPro Guide keeps the visual approach that has won millions of fans for the Visual QuickStart series, but is aimed at intermediate to advanced readers who want to learn Linux without having to wade through 600 pages of dense text. Harold Davis, author of a number of books on Visual Basic and other computing topics, brings readers the basics of Linux with clear, jargon-free explanations and instructions, along with plenty of screenshots.
