Customer Reviews

excellent coverage of the Ubuntu essentials for the power Windows user

What I most like about this book is that there is zero fluff from page 1 until the end of this book. And although I have been using Ubuntu since 7.04, I still learned from this book. I think the target audience for this book is the experienced Windows power user/ administrator who wants to try Linux as that is the user that will find something useful on just about every page. I did. However, the average Windows user may better benefit from the Official Ubuntu book.

Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference

A must read for anyone wanting to start out in Linux. Best book for about $10 bucks that I have bought. Read it BEFORE putting the disk in your machine. It will make life easier.

Short and to the point

For anyone wanting to learn the UBUNTU LINUX operating system this is the book to have by your side. It is written in terms that the novice LINUX user can understand.

GREAT FOR THE BEGINNER AND MORE EXPIERIENCED

This book is probably the most helpful book on Ubuntu I have read. It feature's up-to-date information, and most of all it's also available FREE on pdf format online. It really features EVERYTHING you need to know on Ubuntu for the beginner and for more experienced user. I consider myself an experienced user and I learned plenty from this book. I highly recommend it for the newcomer to Ubuntu and the more experienced user.
