Most computer users utilize the Windows operating system, today, however,
many experienced computer users are either moving to Linux or would like the
option. One factor holding many people back is the fear of learning a new
operating system and applications. This book uses a friendly, step-by-step
style to walk the user through the transition from Windows to Linux. It
leverages what you know as an experienced Windows user, and applies that
knowledge to Linux. Concepts in Linux are related to similar concepts in
Windows, allowing you to draw on what you already know to come up to speed
with Linux. The transition from applications such as Microsoft® Word, Office
and Adobe® Photoshop® to their Linux counterparts KWord, Open Office, and
GIMP are treated thoroughly, and made easy. After reading through Moving

up, maintain, and utilize all aspects of a Linux PC quickly and easily.
