1. Introduction

Abstract

This chapter was written for inexperienced GNU/Linux users. If you know how to log in and out, use KDE and know where your applications reside on your Mandrakelinux system, skip ahead to the next chapter. If not, read on! After reading this chapter, all subsequent chapters will make much more sense to you.

[Note]Note

If you are an experienced Windows® or Mac OS® user, refer to Chapter 4, Migrating to Linux from Windows® and Mac OS® X, which will ease the transition between those operating systems and GNU/Linux.
