The APC Pocketbook is not a comprehensive guide by any stretch of the
imagination, but I think the original idea was to take Linux to the
masses. It has led to an increase in the number of people taking up
Linux and overall must be a good thing.

I've been struggling with Linux since it came out and I'm happy to
hear someone say it takes a couple of years to get into it.

It's my secondary system, but I'm still chipping away and having a few
small wins.
