Linux Desktop Garage Book Review

Susan Matteson’s Linux Desktop Garage is a light read, aimed at the complete Linux novice. Matteson’s goal is to explain to readers the absolute basics of Linux on the desktop, without getting bogged down into anything too complex or overly detailed.

The Linux Desktop Garage is a good book if you have no knowledge of Linux and want to learn the basics before or during your switch. The book’s focus on Fedora and Mandrake (now known as Mandriva) limits its helpfulness in many ways the other aspects like the programs sections and KDE/GNOME explanations will not vary from one distribution to the next.
