Everyday Linux  an average computer user's getting started guide

Linux, ready to use Linux comes ready to use 'out of the box'. All the programs you're likely to need are included with Linux: just click on the Firefox / Google Chrome icon and straight away you can access GGi, YouTube, Facebook, Gmail / Yahoo Mail, etc (internet connection needed, obviously!) Likewise, LibreOffice is included so you can type a letter, or create a spreadsheet, without having to buy and install Microsoft Office. You can open and edit MS Office files and work created in LibreOffice can be opened / used in MS Office by saving it in MS Office format. Want to watch a DVD or listen to a CD? VLC Player is there waiting for you to use. Want to edit music, images or videos? Yep, there's programs included. Want to open and read a .pdf document? Yes, a fast, lightweight .pdf reader is included. No further software downloads and installs needed. Not only that but other programs you may want, such as Skype, are freely available from a repository (*safe* 'app store' of tried and tested programs) directly accessible through Linux. Linux: try, install, use. Next: Try Linux
