[PLUG] Moving to the Linux Business Desktop by Marcel Gagne : book reveiw
|
Moving to the Linux Business Desktop by Marcel Gagne
published by Addison Wesley in paperback
reviewed by Sandy Basickes. Reveiwer's pay: a free copy from the publisher.
Moving to the Linux Business Desktop is not just for businesses.
The book is a very good introduction to the Linux "Windows" environment.
I have been using linux since 1998, but I have not used the desktop
environment.
I could therefore approach the topic as a novice. I followed the
instructions and tried out OpenSSH, and the chapters on KDE.
I followed the book and installed KDE. I then went thru the chapters
on KDE ,surfing the net. The book is very clearly written. I found it
easy to follow his instructions.
I also read his chapter on backup,
which I am familar with. The back up mehtod that Mr. Gagne proposes
is "right on" . I would advise any novice to follow the advise.
