I just reviewed Moving to Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye by Marcel Gagne. I would recommend it to anyone who is completely unfamilar with the Linux Desktop. You can find more information at www.marcelgagne.com.

Today my BIL asked me "How hard would it be to get linux running on our desktop to replace Win98 and MSOffice." I have no problem sending a 'techie' to the right resources to get started...but he is not a 'techie'. Stricly an end-user type. I told him he needs to get a good book to explain the key differences between the OSes and what to expect. I was thinking 'book' because a website will not help him when he gets stuck halfway through the configuration process :> What 'Idiot's Guide to Linux' books do y'all recommend? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Merrill | http://webperformanceinc.com Web Performance Inc. | http://webperformancemonitoring.net Website Load Testing, Stress Testing, and Performance Monitoring Software ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
