Linux Manual
Most people still believe that working with Linux is difficult, or that only computer experts can grasp how the Linux system works. There is a lot of Linux manual information available online, although finding the right one can be confusing because most of them are geared for experienced Linux users. In the past, Linux was mainly used by programmers and enthusiasts because it was quite complicated to program. But today, Linux has grown in popularity both at the workstation and at home. The goal of a manual is to make Linux fun and simple to use for all purposes.
A good Linux guide should have a getting started section and exploration tour to help first-time users get acquainted with the operating system. As the chapters continue, their complexity can build up and more difficult exercises can be added. Advanced users can also use a Linux manual as a desktop reference for key points they may not be aware of.
There are many different distributions of the Linux operating system. But all of them contain a similar syntax so most manuals will work with any Linux distribution that you have. A manual should also help you install Linux operating system. This task is not very difficult and has many similarities with installing Mac OSX or Windows.
In order to make Linux simpler to use, companies like Mandriva, SuSE and RedHat have sprung up, providing simplified Linux distributions designed for mass use. These distributions have much more graphical interfaces to simplify managing of services and programs. Today, you can log in and start all the required applications without having to program a single character. However, there are still large differences between Linux and other operating systems like Windows or Mac OSX. If you are familiar with another operating system, you should obtain a Linux manual to help you get acquainted with the new interface.
