This HOWTO has been written with the goal of making Linux comfortable to users accustomed to other operating systems like DOS or Windows. I have only tried to give you an overview. Don't use this as a HOWTO for learning Linux. I have tried to explain the Linux system relative to what you probably know in DOS and Windows. I have also tried to teach those features of Linux that are new as well as interesting.
Newer versions of this HOWTO as soon as they are written are available from the Linux Document Project (LDP). Please use this link to make sure that you are reading the latest version of this HOWTO.
This is the first public release version of this document and I may have made some mistakes or left some things out. I would like to keep updating this document periodically based on user feedback and suggestions. If you have any ideas that you feel would improve this document in any way then please email Rahul at <rahulsundaram AT yahoo.co.in>.
