Moving to Linux: Kiss The Blue Screen of Death Goodbye! Reading Notes 1
KEY WORDS: Linux Getting Started
I accidentally turned my own library today, I found a Linux book with such a introduction, and I don't know anything. I know that I still look down, just like the use of Windows. .
Strange logic, huh, huh, it is this like this.
First of all, this book is ADDISON WESLEY, it is my favorite publishing house, although the quality of books is general.
Second, this book is mainly positioned in Linux entry and use, I used to see him in Jzr, I used Linux, Red Hat 7, on his MMX 166, and then ran Red Hat 9 with fly Cheng's machine, so I I know that I don't have a high level of Linux, but at least this book talks - mainly KDE's use or will, after all, this thing is simple.
Ok, let's talk about this and then feel the book now.
When I finished reading two chapters, I will browse it later, my favorite thing is that this book is very simple, mainly seeing this is to exercise English. To say technology, the author speaks in Preface It is very clear, this is not a book for techies! So it is calculated as a casual reading.
Chapter 1 mainly introduced Linux, in Introduction, there was also the classic of the Tione of Linus on August 25, 1991. This history was previously seen on the Programmer. Next, it is FREE dialectical relationship. Introduction to Linux's advantages and disadvantages, the advantages include stable, non-toxic, etc., the disadvantage is that some hardware support is not good. I can't mention GNU and GPL. Of course, the author is no exception, Appendix A is GPL full text.
In addition, this book has a CD, which can support the CD-IX system - Knoppix, according to the author, this version is modified. The advantage of English book is the author gives a lot of resources, here there is the author's website Www.marcelgagne.com, go up and see, feel general, as a column writer, technical strength is still, such as another book is relatively deep, write this book, maybe it belongs to the nature of the ticket, Oh, just like JJhou wrote "left hand program right hand poetry".
Then go to Amazon to see the evaluation of this book, 3 messages, not good, one says that this book is too small, this is not born, the author said in Preface Very clear, this book emphasizes the use, not maintenance, another person says, he doesn't like KDE, and like gnome, how to say, this is the author's idea, KDE is more mature, beautiful, and better development, final One person's point of view I control, he is a needle to see that this book does not have anything else, the most failed place is to regard Linux as a replacement of Windows, and not highlighting Linux's truly charming side, yes, we Why is it not to be run under Linux under Linux, but ignore the true value of Linux under Linux.
In fact, for such a small book, it is not necessary to send so many emotions, just write down what you think.
Time is not early, read a day, but also sleep. Zzzzzz ...
