| Beginner's guide to using the Linux desktop |
Aug. 18, 2004
The UNDP-APDIP International Open Source Network (IOSN) has published a guide for new computer users that highlights the Linux desktop. "User Guide to Using the Linux Desktop" introduces computer neophytes to Internet access and applications such as email and browsers, managing files and folders, and how to use the OpenOffice.org suite. After going through the guide, the reader should be in a position to start using a Linux desktop for both personal and office use.
The guide was developed and is released through IOSN, a Center of Excellence for FOSS (free and open source software) in the Asia-Pacific Region, and the Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme (APDIP), an initiative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that aims to promote the development and application of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for poverty alleviation and sustainable human development, also in the Asia-Pacific region. Both organizations are working to bridge the digital divide and foster economic growth using FOSS and other open source technologies.
