Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great beginners guide
I purchased this book to get a better understanding of how Linux, and especially Ubuntu, works - I got exactly that. This book offers a broad basic introduction and a fairly in-depth insight into not just Ubuntu, but also to Linux as a hole.

It describes the differences between Linux and windows, and gives some insight into why Linux does things a little different.

If you a looking for a beginners guide into Ubuntu, this will do the trick!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent for the uninitated, but weak for those who want more depth
The title says it all: "BEGINNING Ubuntu Linux". It really is about using Ubuntu Linux as a substitute for Microsoft Windows. There are advantages to doing so, namely cost. Ubuntu Linux is free.

Ubuntu has gained popularity because it is a straight-forward installation, a welcome relief to many people who have previously tried to install Linux or are simply accustomed to the sort of hand-holding insallation of Microsoft products (when nothing goes wrong).

To start off this is a great book for beginners Much better 100 times than the Dummy book Great Reccommend, Good Reference & training book



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Learn Ubuntu the easy way
Ubuntu Linux is the easiest Linux distribution yet. I'm a computer programmer by trade and I have played with Linux in the past and felt it just wasn't ready for the mainstream public. Linux has come a long way in the last couple of years and Ubuntu proves that Linux IS a mature O/S that can be learned and loved by anyone.

Beginning Ubuntu Linux is one of the best books I have ever read about any Linux distribution. It introduces you to this foreign O/S called Linux. It helps you with the ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Book
I'd heard about Linux for years and had been wanting to use it. I didn't know where to start, though. My biggest concern was not damaging my current Windows XP configuration. I also wanted to know how I could use Linux on a daily basis. All these issues were addressed by this book. If you're an semi-experienced Windows user but know nothing about Linux, this book is for you. It is written in an easy to understand way that covers Linux's inception and installation. All in all, I would recommend this book.
