[Techtalk] My own Linux/Unix book question...

[Lee Blackwell]

How about a 'dummies' book? I don't wish to imply that your son is a
dummy, rather, these dummies style books are intended to teach beginners.

My girlf has one, and what she's read so far is helping her get along.
All I've got to do now is get her to read it more often!

The title she's got is:

Linux in Easy Steps by David Nash
Published by ComputerStep, http://www.computerstep.com
