Subject: Good books for a linux newbie
Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2003 17:41:44 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200303021741.45141.Adam@Luchjenbroers.com> (raw)


	I have a friend who has started using Linux, and has found its stability and 
reliability quite impressive. His one complaint is that the OS is unfamiliar 
to him.

	I told him I'd post here asking about books that may be of assistance to him. 
He is running Mandrake 9, and just wants to use it for word-processing, 
email, music, etc (average desktop user). Games aren't a big issue, but it 
would be good to help him with them too.

	So, what books do you recommend?
