A Newbie's Getting Started Guide to Linux

Learn the basics of the Linux operating systems. Get to know what it is all about, and familiarize yourself with the practical side. Basically, if you're a complete Linux newbie and looking for a quick and easy guide to get you started this is it. You've probably heard about Linux, the free, open-source operating system that's been pushing up against Microsoft. It's way cheaper, faster, safer, and has a far bigger active community than Windows, so why aren't you on it? This guide will tell you all you need to know in 20 illustrated pages, helping you to take your first steps. Let your curiosity take you hostage and start discovering Linux today.

Receive your complimentary guide (NOTE: this is a 3rd party offer that is not affiliated with LQ. They may require some personal information before allowing access to the no cost guide):
