Many people think of Fedora as an operating system that is way over their heads -- that only techies can use this strange, arcane OS with the odd name. Introducing Fedora: Desktop Linux is here to tell you that this is simply not the case. Fedora, and Linux in general, have become very easy for everyday home and business users to install and use. Now you can find out for yourself, in just one weekend, how easy it is to get started using Fedora and discover that there is life beyond Windows. Introducing Fedora: Desktop Linux is for anyone who wants to learn Fedora, specifically Fedora 13. Think of this book as a personal tutorial, a one-on-one class with an expert user of Fedora.
