Three months ago, I didn't know much about computer and even doubted my ability to run Linux. Since then, I have read through the book ( with a lot of patience since many sections are very detailed. ) and at the same time, tried myself. As the authors put lots of effort in explaining what is happening, how to config, how to use the most useful commands and tools, I can follow most as the authors wrote in the book.

But the road was not royal, in fact, quite painful. Since I tried to install Red Hat 6.2 on the IBM Thinkpad, I found many problems : No USB support in Red Hat 6.2 (so, no USB mouse can be used), the video chipset too new for the X Windows System in RH6.2 ( so I have to download an newer version from the Web and config it ) , etc . With the author's precise and detailed explanations, I tried to solve the problems and after a few failure, I succeeded.

Although Linux is not as user-friendly as MS Windows, it is wonderful. There are so many open source projects available in the web. And Linux is a road to this world. And hopefully, RUNNING LINUX is a road to Linux.
