商品描述

This book is for any home user who has switched or is thinking of switching to Linux. Based on Red Hat's Fedora Core, Linux For Non-Geeks avoids geeky subjects like server and network setup and concentrates on the subjects of interest to the average home user: Installation, the Internet, playing CDs and audio files, desktop customization, games, downloading software and fonts, USB storage devices, printing, and more. Readers with only basic experience with Windows or another Linux distribution will learn how to do everything on their Linux machine that they are used to doing with Windows.

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

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書適合已經轉換或正在考慮轉換到Linux的家用使用者。基於Red Hat的Fedora Core,Linux For Non-Geeks避免了像伺服器和網路設定這樣的專業主題,而是專注於對一般家用使用者感興趣的主題:安裝、網際網路、播放CD和音樂檔案、桌面自訂、遊戲、下載軟體和字型、USB儲存裝置、列印等等。只有基本Windows或其他Linux發行版經驗的讀者將學習如何在Linux機器上完成他們在Windows上習慣做的一切。

Rickford Grant在過去20多年中一直是一位電腦作業系統狂熱者。從他早期使用Atari XL600到現在的Linux機器,他一直是家人、朋友和同事電腦幫助熱線的對方。當他不在電腦前燒盡自己,或者用他的Nyckelharpa(瑞典鍵盤提琴)打擾鄰居時,他在日本富山國際研究大學擔任副教授,教授英語語言、瑞典文化和以英語為基礎的計算課程。
