Why Linux?

Hi Guys,

I was reading a very useful book, that is Linux Starter Pack.
Their introduction is:

"New to the wonderful world of Linux? Looking for an easy way to get started? Download our complete 130-page guide and get to grips with the OS in hours rather than weeks or months. We show you how to install Linux onto your PC, navigate around the desktop, master the most popular Linux programs and fix any problems that may arise."

Great! Quite interesting,right? So as the book is. Those who are planning for a migration and those who migrated and are still newbies can find it very useful.
The following are few things which clarifies a person who wants a migration but not able to do it by hearing few rumors.
  1. Linux is free!
  2. Linux looks and works a lot like Windows.
  3. Linux has lots of software ready for you to try.
  4. Linux is secure by default
  5. Linux is smart by default
  6. Linux looks great

Download the pdf version here.


Also if you are choosing Ubuntu, from a myriad of Linux Distros, as I am using that :), you may find this pocket reference as very useful again. It contains all the howto(s) with Ubuntu.
Downloading it here. Ubuntu Pocket Reference.
