". . . this one (Ubuntu Linux book) is at the head of the pack for getting started with your penguin experience. . . ."

Among the many new topics covered in this edition: Ubuntu's expanded multimedia functionality and Edubuntu offerings geared for schools and educational settings.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great informaiton
This book combined with the LINUX bible are a must have for anyone just beginning to learn LINUX. They will walk you through the whole transition from VISTA (viruses, intruders, spyware, Trojans, and adware) or any other MS products.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Not difficult to understand
Very easy reading, although I thought the history was a bit too long. Everything explained not just in Linux/Ubuntu but also the comparison phrasing from windows.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good first book
Good first book for new to computer and Linux types. Lots of history, purpose, flavors and what they do. Touches on most subjects well enough to get you started and help you focus on what you will need help on next. As a long term computer/system user I've ordered more specific books already. Looking online will get you most of what's here, but this concentrates it.
Also you will find lots of info online and most of it is excellent.
Good book to recommend to decision making users/managers ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Save your money; read Ubuntu's web site instead
The book is very basic. If you like hardcopies yet don't wish to print pages from Ubuntu's site then perhaps you'll be satisfied. The chapters on Ubuntu's founding are well-written and honoring to their contribution to the computing world. But, as with setup details and troubleshooting help, all can be found on the site.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Computer Learning
Simply a great book for the new to Linux based operating system user. Ubuntu is a fine operating system on par if not better in most respects to Windows XP or Vista. Best of all it's free. There are several versions of Ubuntu out now and the book is a usefull guide for all. It is really great for the one that comes on the disk that is free in the back of the book. If you want a new twist in computing get this book.
