I understand that a close relative of one of the developers of Lindows OS has written a basic operator's manual. I have not been able to find the title of the book, nor the author and have searched the internet-- including Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, etc. Moreover, I sent an e-mail to Lindows and surmised from their answer that they did not want to send the name of the manual, perhaps because they did not want to be seen as implicitly endorsing it. Other Linux manuals only seem to be very limited applicability. Does anyone know of this manual? Thanks.

looks like what your inquiring about, hope that helps.
good luck.

Thank you, Peacedog. I ordered the book and don't know how I missed it the time I visited Amazon.com.

I live and work in the central Arkansas area.

Our computer consultant at my place of work, when asked for his recommendation on a home computer-- recommended I find a Linux system... and we have a Microsoft Windows based system at work! He said if he could start us all over again, he would have gotten a Linux type system. We already had a Windows system for years when he took over. He said Windows is too unstable, in part because they're always figuring out ways of "updating" as a way of charging you more money.
