Beginning Fedora is the first book to examine Fedora from the desktop perspective. Guiding the reader through all of the tasks Windows users have long grown accustomed to doing on a daily basis, but historically find difficult to do on Linux, readers learn how to manage MP3s, videos, and photos, perform office tasks, and create an office network. Adapted from Keir Thomas' best-selling Beginning Ubuntu, readers will learn how to quickly make the most of this powerful and popular operating system.
