The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use

by Michael Stutz

*NOTE:* Info (the program you are reading this with) is easy to use, but it can seem hard if you are unfamiliar with it. If you're new to Info, I recommend you run the built-in tutorial to use it before you read this text. To run the Info tutorial, just type the 'h' key. You can do this at any time while you are in Info.
