Most computer users utilize the Windows operating system. Today, however, a growing number are either moving to Linux or would like the option. One factor holding many people back is the fear of learning a new operating system and applications. This book uses a friendly style to walk the user through the transition from Windows to Linux, step-by-step. It covers all facets of Linux, including: installation, configuration, shell commands, KDE, GNOME, setting up a Linux Web server, and moving from software applications such as Photoshop to GIMP and Microsoft Office to Open Office. Moving From Windows to Linux teaches the average Windows user how to set up, maintain, and utilize all aspects of a Linux PC quickly and easily.
