Opis Moving to Linux:
This book is a user guide for the Linux desktop. It is everyone's guide to Linux
- that includes both average home users and office workers. It covers getting
on the Internet, e-mail, Web browsers (including Firefox), office applications
(word processors, spreadsheets, presentations - primarily the OpenOffice.org
suite), playing and ripping songs, burning CDs, watching movies, playing
games, etc.
New to this edition of the book is coverage of digikam, an iPhoto-like linux
application for managing digital photos; and FireFox, the newest and hottest
browser from the Mozilla foundation. In addition, all of the OpenOffice.org
coverage has been updated to the upcoming 2.0 release, which critics are calling
a "microsoft office killer" application. And all of the KDE material has been
updated to the upcoming 3.4 release.
An update to the #1 Linux migration book for Windows users frustrated with the hassles and insecurity of Windows computing.
° How to use the most common desktop applications on Linux, such as web browsers, email clients, and instant messaging clients
° Bootable Knoppix CD allows readers to test-drive Linux without having to install Linux or remove their Windows installation.
° Coverage of OpenOffice.org 2.0 shows how to preserve their library of existing documents and spreadsheets under Linux.
