  Tutorial: The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use

Because of its robust and stable nature, the Linux-based system is the choice of millions today. But what some may not know is that the free software movement, of which Linux .

Tutorial Details:

While some programmers turn their research into corporate-backed software that you cannot openly change, share, or examine (but only purchase and run on your system), Linux and other free software is the product of many individuals who courageously published and shared their research and work openly, for everyone to benefit from.

I wrote this book because I want everyone to know how to use this software, because I think everyone deserves the freedom that comes with it. I don't willingly use proprietary software -- not because it is always inferior to free software, but because its use precludes freedoms that I find I cannot exist without ... freedoms that should be everyone's right by default in a free, open society.

I know that Linux isn't difficult to use, especially when compared with other software and operating systems, but what was needed was a guide to show people how to use it to get things done: "Oh, you want to do that? Here, type this."

That explains the premise of the book -- it's a hands-on guide to getting things done on a Linux system, designed for the everyday user who is not necessarily a computer programmer.

The traditional approach to the subject is to either provide laundry lists of all available commands and applications, or focus on their use in a programming or otherwise technical environment. This book takes a different approach, showing how everyday users -- be they artists, designers, businessmen, scholars, or scientists -- can use these tools and applications to get things done. When I speak of "things," I mean (hopefully) the kind of things that you -- the sort of person possibly and partially described above-might want to do with a modern computer system: view text and images, play and record sounds, perform mathematic operations, print to your printer, format text, access the Internet, check your grammar, and so forth.
