[TriLUG] Linux intro book recommendation?

[Mark R. Hinkle]

I just reviewed Moving to Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye by
Marcel Gagne. I would recommend it to anyone who is completely unfamilar
with the Linux Desktop. You can find more information at
www.marcelgagne.com.

Regards,
Mark

Subject: [TriLUG] Linux intro book recommendation?


Today my BIL asked me "How hard would it be to get linux running
on our desktop to replace Win98 and MSOffice."

I have no problem sending a 'techie' to the right resources to get
started...but he is not a 'techie'.  Stricly an end-user type.
I told him he needs to get a good book to explain the key differences
between the OSes and what to expect.  I was thinking 'book' because
a website will not help him when he gets stuck halfway through the
configuration process :>

What 'Idiot's Guide to Linux' books do y'all recommend?
