The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use

The Linux Cookbook shows Linux users at all levels how to perform a variety of everyday computer tasks such as: printing stationery; converting and managing files; editing and formating text; working with digital audio; and creating and manipulating graphics. The quick-reference, "cookbook"-style format, includes step-by-step Linux "recipes."

As a technology correspondent with Wired News/Reuters, MICHAEL STUTZ was one of the first journalists to write about Linux and the Open Source movement in the mainstream press. He has contributed to the GNU Project and the Linux Documentation Project, and created the Design Science License (DSL), a generalized "copyleft" license designed to fit any work.
