In the schools thread, I mentioned that getting people to use cross-platform FOSS software such as OpenOffice and The GIMP is an ideal first step towards sinking the Microsoft monopoly mindset.
In order for people to migrate, they need confidence; confidence that I think best comes from a good manual, reference or tutorial book - and I mean a proper printed book, not a web-based guide. So, what good reference/tutorial books can people recommend for common cross-platform FOSS replacements for common applications? I'll try to compile these into a web page for future reference. I'll start with the one I've already stated: Application: OpenOffice Writer Type: Word processor Replaces: MS Word Title: "OpenOffice.org 2.x Writer Guide" ISBN: 978-1-9213-2000-2 Price: <£15 inc. delivery Available from: http://www.lulu.com/content/690763 Any more? In particular I'm after a good GIMP manual. -- Andrew Oakley -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
