Book Description
Linux is an operating system that runs on nearly any computer platform available today, and in the last year, has especially matured on the Apple Macintosh hardware. Linux fans and Mac users can find plenty of support over the Internet, but few, if any, titles in print! That is why Linux for Your Mac is destined to be the definitive guide to installing, configuring, using, and managing Linux on the Macintosh platform. Aimed at beginners, this book provides essential details on getting started, and then takes you through simple first steps toward mastering Linux on your Mac.
