      This ebook is geared to those computer users that don't want to know what's under the hood. They just want to get their email, compose a document, update a spreadsheet or play some solitaire. It is for users that have some experience with windows, file management (copying, pasting,etc.), and internet browsing.

      What is LINUX you ask? LINUX is an operating system comparable to Windows 7, Windows XP, and Apple operating systems.

         The one thing I love about Linux is the fact that I have choices. I am not forced to have a particular desktop. Besides the 8 different desktops, there are 8 web browsers, 4 email clients, 5 office suites and much more to choose from. I am not forced to make updates or upgrades.

         Installing LINUX is a great opportunity to recycle an old computer.

         Do not think that just because it is free it has no value. Because open source software is community owned, a powerful, stable and reliable software is created at very little cost. Users are encouraged to improve upon it, share their improvements, and pool resources. This software is written by users who have a personal interest in quality work.   

      TEN REASONS TO SWITCH TO LINUX

      LINUX is free, now and forever. You pay nothing, you get updates and you get great software.

      LINUX is fast. Why does it take forever for WINDOZE to start up? Don't know. LINUX starts up fast.

      LINUX has thousands of apps. LINUX lets you make music, run a website, touch up photos, burn CD's, write a book, and more for no cost right out of the
