Product Description
Red Hat Software is the leading supporter and developer of Linux and is freely distributed and available from many sites on the Internet. With Linux’s increasing popularity, many users are curious about the operating system but don’t want to give up Windows altogether. Add Red Hat Linux X to Your Windows Desktop In a Weekend will show you how to load Red Hat Linux and explore what all the hype behind Linux is about while you keep your Windows OS intact. This beginning to intermediate book is for users who have just downloaded or purchased Red Hat Linux and want to see how it works but only have one computer. You don’t necessarily have to be new to Linux, but if you find the need for some expert instruction on deciphering Red Hat, this book is for you!
Customer Reviews & Comments This book is the most simplistic and basic introduction to Linux available. Proffitt opted to write a book that steps you through the process of installing and configuring the software with explanations. As a result, this book is basically a step-by-step instruction manual on how to install and configure Red Hat Linux (version 7.0, which is included on CDROM). No advanced or intermediate topics are covered. After finishing this book, you definitely won't be a guru, but you will have installation headaches behind you so you can start really exploring Linux.
