Linux Mint Essentials

A task-oriented look at Linux Mint, using actual real-world examples to stimulate learning. Each topic is presented in an easy-to-follow order, with hands-on activities to reinforce the content.

If you are starting out with Linux from a different platform, this book is for you. No previous Linux experience is required, though an understanding of basic computer usage (for example, using a mouse) is expected.
