TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND
Xandros Desktop OS is an intuitive graphical environment that works right
out of the box and offers unrivaled compatibility with Microsoft Windows. It is the ideal choice for computer beginners who want to use Linux or just want a low-cost, easy-to-use alternative to Windows.
This book is for any home user who is looking for a low-cost and easy-to-use alternative to Windows. Based on Xandros 3, arguably one of the most user-friendly versions of Linux available today, Linux Made Easy concentrates on the subjects of most interest to the average home user or hobbyist: installation, using the Internet, playing CDs and audio files, using scanners, working with digital cameras and images, games, downloading software and fonts, USB storage devices, PDAs, printing, Internet telephony, and more. Readers with only basic experience will learn how to do everything on their Linux machine that they are used to doing with Windows - perhaps even more - all without being unduly concerned about which operating system they are using.
