4.0 out of 5 stars Good starter for newbies, August 15, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux : Your Visual Blueprint to the Linux Platform (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for linux newbies. Maran graphic's "Visual Blueprint..." series are great books for those looking to learn about computers and software.

The only problem with this book was that I couldnt get Red Hat 6.2 installed on my Compaq pc. Although at the back of the book it recommends the OS is compatible with IBM pc's. A better version of Linux would be Linux Mandrake. I feel Mandrake would compliment this book better than Red Hat.
