Ubuntu for Gummies

I have finally made the definite decision to convert COMPLETELY to Linux and have chosen Ubuntu to be my pardner an home and at work. This book along with others have made me decide to go complete and all at one time, no more playing with partitions and that dual crap. This book, I highly recommend as it makes your life in Ubuntu not only easy but FUN and easy.

Good book. Read on...

I have long shelve of books on linux and unix. This is one decent book on ubuntu but it is what the title says: it is book for a very beginner and in this role it is very credible reading. You should not expect from it any "advanced" subjects, but it walks you trough first time ubuntu experience. It outlines and crisply describes basic things for first time users. It is not up to current version, but it is still very reliable. If you are looking for more than merely basic guide see Ubuntu, Kubuntu 8.04 and Linux Training Library 2DVDs+CD as it comes with great PDF library on CD. If you never touched Linux before you probably need the Linux/Unix course see Linux and UNIX for a beginner complete training suite, 4DVDs + 2CDs ed.2008

Great product

This was even better than I expected. Not only is the book ease to understand but it comes with a free verson of the programs it describes. This was just great.
