Synopsis "Linux Revisited: Update (in English)"
There may be lot of missing items in this book. I did not try to be comprehensive. Then it becomes a Linux Bible. I have avoided partitioning and hardware support deliberately. Little is changed in partitioning skills except the partitioning type. My only warning is be careful when choosing the new partitioning types. I tried to be bit narrative this time round instead of being analytical and scientific. The analytical approach was necessary when the Linux was in early stage of development and there was a hype in activity. Now it is on stable ground except where cutting edge changes are made in the hardware sector. It is mature and robust now. One has to make a choice depending on one's needs. I will summarize my subjective / objective selection for my use and the reader has to decide his / her own choices. If you are using it as a hobby one need at least two computers (I had 10) or perhaps three one being a laptop/netbook. One can be dedicated for testing. Now I have gone down to only one computer, there will be less and less input from me in the immediate future even at web / Internet level. If I do not put them in writing or in digital form my time testing them would be a void. That is the very reason I am publishing this book for an entry level Linux user to browse before he/she start experimenting with Linux. Teething problems and pain is taken care of, for one who is without a proper Guru. My choices are 1. General Use Peppermint for Light Weight Debian for all six desktops 2. Hobby Puppy Linux Knoppix 3. Education Uberstudent 4. Scientific Poseidon Linux 5. Technical Use Dynabolic for Music ArtistiX for Graphics Debian for Programming 6. Kids and Games Picaros Diego 7. Games Steam OS with New 64 bit computer Rest of the distributions fall in between those mentioned above. Anyone can be used without a problem as long as there is no conflict with hardware compatibility.
