KDE-Netherlands presents Linux book for newbies
===============================================

   During this summer while aKademy [http://conference2004.kde.org/] was
filling our minds and consuming our time other things were cooking in
the Dutch KDE community. Some people from KDE-NL [http://www.kde.nl/],
the Dutch KDE community, were offered the opportunity to write a book
about Linux and KDE. This month the book 'Linux in 10 minuten'
[http://www.nl.bol.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/nl/-/EUR/BOL_DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=c0KKoqn9dwOKgOhR6Pi0lUkl6UXhmQt73iU=?BOL_OWNER_ID=1001004002103338&Section=BOOK&lgl=1&plid=&lgl_BOL_OWNER_ID=1]
was published and officially launched by Pearson Education Benelux
[http://www.pearsoneducation.nl/] and KDE-NL.

     The book is intended for newcomers who want to use Linux as their
desktop. We show them in a step-by-step fashion and in a clear language
how to manage their daily computer tasks easily.

     Jan Verdiesen, Novell Netherlands says:

     "This book is a great step forward in the adoption of Linux by the
masses. Equipped with 'Linux in 10 minuten' it will be even more easy
for me to entice people to use Linux."

     Before you head off to the book shop please remember this book is
only available in Dutch (for now). The entire profits of the sales of
this book will be donated to KDE-Netherlands.

     We would like to thank the following people for their time and
contributions: Bram Schoenmakers, Ruurd Pels, Wilbert Berendsen, Tom
Verbreyt, Fabrice Mous, Rinse de Vries, Marijke Verkaik and Tom Albers.

     For our Dutch readers there is also a Dutch press release.
