Now you can find out for yourself, in just one weekend, how easy it is to get started using Fedora and discover that there is life beyond Windows. Introducing Fedora: Desktop Linux is for anyone who wants to learn Fedora, specifically Fedora 13. Think of this book as a personal tutorial, a one-on-one class with an expert user of Fedora.
