Since beginning the survival guide books in 1995 they have grown in many unexpected
directions. My original aim was to capture useful notes for the varied and many common tasks I
found myself doing, utilising the tools and packages of GNU/Linux for AI and Machine Learning. I
structured the book as one page nuggets of information—each section within a chapter was kept
to no more than a single printed page, providing a focus on a single task for each page.
The concept of the OnePageR Desktop Survival Guide has worked well over the years, from my
personal use and extensive reader feedback. Three Desktop Survival Guides currently exist, the
GNU/Linux Desktop Survival Guide, the Data Science Desktop Survival Guide, and the MLHub
Desktop Survival Guide. The material from these freely available books has also lead to two
published books: Data Mining with Rattle and Essentials of Data Science.
A pdf version of this book is available for a small donation which goes towards supporting the
development and availability of the book. Please visit MLHub for details. The html version
contains the same material and remains freely available from MLHub.
