Linux Made Easy is for any home user who is looking for a low-cost and easy-to-use
alternative to Windows. Based on Xandros 3, arguably one of the most user-friendly
versions of Linux available today, Linux Made Easy concentrates on the subjects
of most interest to the average home user or hobbyist: installation, using the
Internet, playing CDs and audio files, using scanners, working with digital cameras
and images, games, downloading software and fonts, USB storage devices, PDAs,
printing, Internet telephony, and more. Readers with only basic experience will
learn how to do everything on their Linux machine that they are used to doing
with Windows--perhaps even more--all without being unduly concerned about which
operating system they are using.
About the Author
Rickford Grant has been a computer operating system maniac for
over 20 years. From his earliest days with his Atari XL600 to his present Linux
machines, he has been the guy at the other end of the computer help line for
family, friends and colleagues. When not burning himself out in front of his
monitor, or annoying his neighbors with his Nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle)
playing, he spends his working hours as an Associate Professor at Toyama University
of International Studies in Japan, where he teaches courses in English Language,
Swedish Culture, and English-language-based computing.
