O'Reilly introduces Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds as "the perfect way to check out Linux" and "kick the tires." Author David Brickner co-pilots while readers boot Mandrake Linux from the included CD and experience the luxuries that come standard with popular Linux programs.
O'Reilly says this 270 page book allows readers to:
- Surf the Internet with a secure browser that blocks pop-up ads and has tabbed browsing
- Send and receive email without fear of viruses
- Instant Message with friends on AOL, MSN, and Yahoo!
- Listen to music, watch videos, and create MP3s
- Write reports and create spreadsheets
- Keep track of personal finances
- Customize a desktop to suit the way an individual user likes to work
- Fix and touch up digital photos
Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds (ISBN:0-596-00754-X) is available now direct from O'Reilly for $24.95 US, and from other major book retailers.
