Synopsis
Author Bob Rankin skips the technobabble and gets down to easy, step-by-step instructions for installing and using Linux. Linux is free, and Linux users enjoy a plethora of free software and games downloadable from the Internet. With this accessible guide illustrated with hundreds of screen shots, kids -- and adults -- can get started right away. With humor and easy-to-follow instruction, Rankin shows how to get connected to the Internet and local area networks, use Web browsers and e-mail, do word processing, create databases, and play games. He highlights differences between Linux and Windows and covers how to access Windows files and programs using Linux. Later chapters introduce Linux programming and other advanced functions. Because Linux can run on older hardware, kids can use it on hand-me-down machines. It's also multiuser, so they can have their own accounts without "messing up" their parents' system.
