Title: Dummies should not be installing Linux...
Review: ...and they shouldn't be writing books either. This book was completely frustrating for me. I am an avid DOS/Windows user who wanted to give Linux a spin. Now, I consider myself quite knowledgeable when it comes to the inner workings of a computer, but I knew I'd need help with how Linux interacted with the PC. This book provided no help whatsoever. Every time I had a question about setting up any part of Linux, the author's response eventually was "Go find a Linux geek." That's why I bought this book -- I needed a Linux geek to show me what I can do. If you can follow screen prompts and know your hardware, this book will provide no help for you.
