If the "dummies" book loses you, get this one!

I bought the "dummies" book to linux and it lost me about half way through. Linux is so different to me and all the talk about so many filing systems put me to sleep. Bottom line is I didn't "get it" and wasn't getting any work done. Then I came across the fast and easy book. Sure it's very simple. Lots of pictures to follow along matching my screen to the screen to the book's pictures. I got a handle on the edge of linux. Now when I go back to the "dummies" book, it makes sense. If your having problems with this OS but really want to know what the fun is about, try this book first. Sometimes it's not the subject matter that's the problem, it's the writer. This writer was helpfull. But don't expect detailed help here with configuration.
