Welcome!
Linux might seem intimidating, but you’ve come
to the right place if you want to get started.
Every time I come to
write an introduction to
one of these guides, I
seem to relate a story
of how I’ve ruined
something by being
unprepared. This guide
is no different. My first
experience with Linux was one of
desperation: I really
had
to try it, being an
unabashed computer nerd, and when I
finally got my hands on an early copy of
Mandrake Linux – in a box, on a real
CD-ROM! – I set to installing it without
thinking. I didn’t need that software or
those documents, it seems. I also didn’t
need a working computer, clearly, as
Linux wasn’t particularly friendly when it
came to compatibility at the time.
Things have changed. Modern Linux
distributions tend to work first time with
whatever hardware you have. Every
recent distro I’ve tried installs nicely
alongside other operating systems like
Windows and other flavours of Linux.
You can also get by – just – without ever
touching the command line, as long as
you’re not looking to push your OS too far.
However you want to use Linux, from
GUI to command line and beyond to more
practical purposes, Linux Made Simple
has you covered. I’ve collected together
a host of guides and tutorials from my
expert colleagues at Linux Format
magazine, which will get you up and
running and take you further, too. And if
you get hooked, I’d highly recommend
subscribing to LXF (see page 144). You
won’t find a better Linux magazine.
Alex Cox, Editor

software with confidence and really
get to know how to use it
Break instructions down into
easy-to-follow steps so you won’t
be left scratching your head over
what to do next
Help you discover exciting new
things to do and try – exploring
new technology should be fun and
our guides are designed to make
the learning journey as enjoyable as
possible for you
Teach you new skills you can take
with you through your life and apply
at home or even in the workplace
Make it easy for you to take our
advice everywhere with you by
