All the tech knowhow in one place to customize LINUX OS
I have spent weeks trying to find a book that describes all the tricks and tips for customizing Linux. I knew that it had to be out there I just could not find it. I love the Linux OS it's simple, easy to use, and customizable to suit my needs, not computing for dummies like MICROSOFT. I wanted to change things on my computer but did not have the tech tips that I needed. With this book I now have a good understanding of what to do to make the system preform as I wish.
