SYNOPSIS
Everything You Need to Make the Switch to Linux! Most computer users utilize the Windows operating system, today, however, many experienced computer users 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, step-by-step style to walk the user through the transition from Windows to Linux. It leverages what you know as an experienced Windows user, and applies that knowledge to Linux. Concepts in Linux are related to similar concepts in Windows, allowing you to draw on what you already know to come up to speed with Linux. The transition from applications such as Microsoft¨ Word, Office and Adobe¨ Photoshop¨ to their Linux counterparts KWord, Open Office, and GIMP are treated thoroughly, and made easy. After reading through Moving From Windows to Linux any knowledgeable user of Windows will be able to set up, maintain, and utilize all aspects of a Linux PC quickly and easily. Covers all facets of Linux, including: Installation Configuaration Shell commands KDE GNOME Setting up and Using a Linux Web Server Transitioning from Photoshop to GIMP Moving from Microsoft Office to Open Office KEY FEATURES Makes the move from Windows to Linux easy with a friendly, conversational style Takes the Windows user step-by-step through the transition to Red Hat Linux Features side by side comparisons of how to accomplish tasks in Windows and how to accomplish the same goals in Linux Explains how to accomplish all of your every day MS Office and Photoshop tasks in Open Office Suite and GIMP ABOUT THE AUTHOR
