Reader ReviewsI bought this book because I had bought the boxed version of Caledera Open Linux 2.4 and was a complete newbie to Linux and wanted guidance...This book delievered just that and more. It helped me get Linux installed and working on my system and even connected to the net to check e-mail and update my system....I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn linux and tinker with it while reading and learning. Even though it's not the latest and greatest version it's still a good one to start with
