Computer Learning [Posted on 2008-01-21]
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.
Save your money; read Ubuntu's web site instead [Posted on 2008-03-10]
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.
Good first book [Posted on 2008-04-07]
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 to help them decide Windows isn't the only choice. Has a ver 7.04 CD.
Not difficult to understand [Posted on 2008-04-21]
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.
Great informaiton [Posted on 2008-05-11]
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.
