Since I first started installing Mint for friends the network connections were easy to configure Live Mint USBs because the folks had already gotten the broadband gateways that run their internet and power their now VOIP phones using their house current and battery in the event of outages so the phone company can eliminate as many landline blades as possible.
As the Wizard and other Linux elders here know , I am trying to get the most Windows similar Linux for myself and a few others and Mint seems good.
My low cost dial up ISP tech support contact sent me an older Linux for beginners book about Ubuntu and derivatives, but it has minimal information on Mint 20.
The book I am considering getting at the local bookstore as a textbook addition to what I read here is Linux Mint 20 Desktops and Administration by Richard Petersen.
Would this be a good choice as a textbook addition as I try to understand the wired network configurations? I just have to figure how to make Mint network dial the Linux $10 a month dial in ISP I have.
The older paperback I was given says any Ubuntu derivative can handle dial up in the absence of broad band but the live Linux drive I brought home stonewalled my effort to add a wired connection.
So should I buy this 2021 book by Richard Petersen as a textbook?
