Linux Books
Of course the Internet along with the help of Google is a great source of information. You can answer almost any question you have about Linux and find many tutorials, guides and help. However many people prefer reading this information on a printed book accesssible even when they are not online or don't have a computer in front of them. I've received many e-mails asking me to propose them a few good books regarding Linux commands, administration and for specific distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora etc. So, I've search for a few good books. Here they are. Happy reading!

16. Download managers

If you don't want to use Firefox's default download manager you can try the following download managers. In case you want to easily download rapidshare files with your Premium Account you can check my guide

* kget

This is KDE's default download manager. if you are using GNOME you will have to download a lot of dependencies and KDE libraries, so you'd better not use it.

su -c 'yum install kdenetwork'

17. PDF Readers

* evince

The default pdf viewer for Fedora is Evince. If it's not installed type:

su -c 'yum install evince evince-djvu evince-dvi'

Open a terminal and type:

su -c 'yum install AdobeReader_enu'

enu stands for the English package. To search for other languages type:

su -c 'yum search AdobeReader'
