Can One Publish a Book without typing a Single Letter on Microsoft Word?

Can one Publish a Book without typing a Single letter on Microsoft Word?

The answer is simple YES.

Well you might say by using LateX or TeTex.

You might even say using Libre Office or Open Office.

Or you might say I used Vi or VIM.

No, I did not use any of those fancy software.

I used a software bundled in only 8 MiB and used only 30 to 50 MiB of my RAM when running and my Final Output was less than 1 MiB.

It is even less in print format.

All this was done in pure Linux.

The Final Products are out there in Amazon.

1. Introductory Lessons in Linux. It is already there.

2. My Selection of Linux Distributions. Will be out soon when Amazon finishes it weekend maintenance work.

These books are in addition to the other books I have published (but not on Linux).

If you do not know the software, you may have to browse at least the first book.

To know about all the Linux products/software available free and the distributions that port them, well you have to read the second book.

If you do not wish to peruse the book, all that information is out there in my blog sites parafox (here) and on asokaplus in wordpress.com.

What the books had done were to organize the blog writing and remove typos and updated the information to current (as much as possible) context, including some information on cloud computing, which is going to be the the next sea change.

I call it the next  tsunami.
