Résumé

Say goodbye to Windows crashes, viruses, hassles, and cost!

Moving to Linux can help you migrate from Windows to Linux in just hours! By the time you've finished, you'll be able to do virtually anything in Linux-without the aggravation, crashes, security risks, or high costs of running Windows! This is not a book for techies! It's a book for people like you: people who write documents, create spreadsheets, surf the Web, send emails, listen to CDs, play games-and want to do it simply in Linux, without becoming technical experts!

Convert your Windows PC to a Linux system that does more for less money-one step at a time
Browse the Internet, send and receive email, even send instant messages using your existing AOL, MSN, and Yahoo! accounts
Connect your digital camera or scanner
Rip music, burn and play CDs
Discover the world of Linux games: from solitaire to flight simulators, and beyond

There's more!! Write, calculate, and present with OpenOffice.org, the free office suite for Linux that can also read and write all of your existing Microsoft Office documents.

Say goodbye to expensive software upgrades, burdensome Microsoft licensing, Windows viruses, and "blue screens of death." Say hello to computing the way it's supposed to be-with Linux!
