They need to quickly masters the Linux equivalents of Outlook, Microsoft Office, and Internet Explorer. They need to understand how to customize their Linux desktops so that they can be as productive as possible. And they need to do all of this quickly. They need Spring Into Linux.

Written for professionals who don’t need a lot of hand-holding, the information is quite dense. Each tutorial contains at least one example of the concept or procedure being described, with plenty of supporting screenshots.
