This publication is not an in-depth description of the Ubuntu Linix OS. Rather it gives a very cursory review of Ubuntu's capabilities. If you're looking for an operating maunal for this system, you'll not find it here. Most of the time the book refers the reader to a web site rather than showing the reader how to get a program to work properly. It skims over much of what is needed to get the best from the Ubuntu OS. Instead, I recommend the book, "Ubuntu Linux," by William von Hagen as a much more thorough and practical approach to the Ubuntu OS. This book will tell you how to install plug-ins, operate programs, and get things running directly from the textbook in most cases, i.e. not from a web site.
An excellent place to begin April 7, 2007

Prepares you throughout installation and setting up, with helpful tidbits and references. I found it very helpful and exactly what I expected.

All of the basic elements are in this book. I haven't been working with it much for the last few weeks while they dentist remodeled my teeth. Where I have used it, it has been excellent. Go to the Ubuntu web site, download the 6.10, make an imiage copy, and then put it on a blank disk. Then.. buy the book, and you will be a very happy person. It doesn't have all the frills in the other system.. it is excellent. And it ALWAYS works. And if you don't like the security level of this system, you can make if more secure. But as it is, security is probably greater than a Windows program with an add-on program to boot.
Are you a school systems administrator? It networks well.. it works well.. you will wind up teaching a lot, lot more than fixing. Load it to a blank disk or load it to a disk with another operating system.
