Title: Free Linux Ebooks
Post by: JesusLinux on January 28, 2018, 10:49:26 PM
Hi

I want to learn more about Linux in general!
I've been (and still Am) a Windows user until I discovered LL which gave a new life to my old laptop some time ago, after I bought a new one with Win10 (8GB RAM, i5core CPU,Nvidia bla bla bla).

My old laptop (the one I'm writing this now) is 11 years now so I have to thank the developers of Linux in general and LL in particular for providing a OS for a machine that otherwise would be useless.

I'm not a computer geek, just a simple user so Linux (terminal/command lines) are very confusing.

With that in mind what free ebooks recommendations would you guys suggest so I can improve my skills with linux.
Download links would be appreciated.

Thank You

I think this is a good point to start from: https://itsfoss.com/getting-started-with-ubuntu/?utm_source=sidebar&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=sidebar  You'll find a lot of info in that link; tutos and hows to, links for downloading books, software reviews and much more. Like I said, it is a good point to start from. Also, use the search feature in this forum as well as in google to find posts/articles about some particular subject/topic.

Hope this helps! :)

Hello JesusLinux,

this book is good for learning the command line, then it becomes a bit less confusing.

@JesusLinux  This site might be helpful too https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:LinuxFoundationX+LFS101x+1T2017/course/  It offers an "introduction to Linux" course completely free of charge.

At the moment I'm working myself through This One (http://tille.garrels.be/training/ubuntu/index.html)(For All you Dutch Speaking Linux Addicts)


Yes, it's a bit dated, but good for the basics I guess
