Description If you're tired of paying prohibitive licensing fees, consider the (free) Linux operating system. Formerly the province of computer geeks, Linux is ready for everyday use, especially when coupled with KDE, a powerful (Windows-like) desktop. And, with the advent of the OpenOffice and StarOffice suites, there's now a real alternative to Microsoft Office. With Linux in the Workplace as your guide, you'll be on your way to using Linux's many free programs to perform a variety of office tasks, such as word processing, building presenations, sending email, and browsing the Internet. Clear, non-technical examples show you how to use Linux, the KDE desktop, and Linux software to: - Prepare documents, build spreadsheets, and create charts and presentations using OpenOffice and StarOffice - Connect to the Internet and create web pages - Create and manipulate graphics using The GIMP and other drawing programs - Streamline day-to-day tasks with a personal information manager, calendar, and scheduler - Transfer information between your PDA and desktop - Send and receive email and subscribe to newsgroups Discover for yourself what millions of people already know about Linux and open-source software.
