This book has been created to guide you through your very first steps in the Linux environment, whether you are a complete novice or need an in-depth refresher in Linux. Linux has become one of the most popular open source programs in the world, with capabilities that rival the best paid operating systems on the market. Due to its high flexibility and stability, it is used for text processing, graphic design, desktop publishing, calculations, communication, and even interfaces for appliances. From movie making and engineering, to military and astronautics, Linux is used everywhere. This book takes a detailed look at the Linux diversity and history, installing and configuring a Linux system, as well as the infamous command line.
