[SGVLUG] Book on Linux for Beginners?

[Jan Foote]

I didn't see if you need help installing or something else.  
An easy way to start is to buy a computer or laptop from Craigslist that has Ubuntu on it and then just do the updates.  You will sail along easily.  Make sure you test it first and have both passwords.  
I bought one from Craigslist three years ago and all I've done is the updates and have had zero problems and no crashes.  Thanks,

| Starting with installation and use, very basic, but kind of current. Taking an old XP machine, replacing operating system with Linux, and playing with it without getting into too much trouble. I would have loved to come to your last meeting about this, and to Scale, but have resigned myself to just getting a book now. Thanks!

Subject: Re: [SGVLUG] Book on Linux for Beginners? Are you asking about installation, administration or usage? My first was “Linux Bible” for a general overall knowledge. However as time progressed my questions expanded to more specific use books; programming, administration to security.  and for installation, each distro and specific packages have a wealth of custom manuals for help. That is my opinion.  Gary Perkinson | Project Engineer
