Summary
If you want to learn how to use Linux, but don't know where to start, listen on.
Knowing where to start when learning a new skill can be a challenge, especially when the topic seems so vast. There can be so much information available that you can't even decide where to start. Or worse, you start down the path of learning and quickly discover too many concepts, commands, and nuances that aren't explained. This kind of experience is frustrating and leaves you with more questions than answers.
Linux for Beginners doesn't make any assumptions about your background or knowledge of Linux. You need no prior knowledge to benefit from this audiobook. You will be guided step by step using a logical and systematic approach. As new concepts, commands, or jargon are encountered, they are explained in plain language, making it easy for anyone to understand.
Here is what you will learn by listening to Linux for Beginners:
- How to get access to a Linux server if you don't already
- What a Linux distribution is and which one to choose
- What software is needed to connect to Linux from Mac and Windows computers

Great succinct introduction to linux
Where does Linux for Beginners rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the best technical audio book I've listened to to date - the content is clearly delivered. Technical examples have an exquisite balance between being overly simple (dull) and unnecessarily complicated (so that you can't follow them in audio format). If you're familiar with DOS and have a vague understanding of the existence of Linux then this book is for you. There's enough content to listen to in one go, scattered with more advanced examples you'll want to return to once you've had some time to experiment with the basics.
