Great book for beginners using Linux 5.1 or higher

Love the book- clear, concise, good layout, graphics, and organized well enough that you can put it down and play, but still pick up where you left off. Being new at the OS to some degree, optimizing the GUI is the first thing I want to do, then work the underlying files later. This is the book to show you how to run and tweek the environment.

Excellent Basic Coverage of KDE

Just the right book at the right time. Takes some of the mystery out of KDE's layout and utilities. I learned a lot, and use it as my KDE reference. Recommended!!

Good basic teaching tool

This book is a good learning guide for people who have recently changed from MS products and enables a user to configure a Unix system to do the same things they did on a Windows box. There is not much advanced info for Admins as the program is all GUI anyway. My only critisism is that there is little mention of any OS other than Linux, I use this on FreeBSD and I know others using it on Solaris. Other than this small problem I an happy with the book and recomend it to both new users and admins who need to teach clients about this desktop.
