This is a very comprehensive operating manual for the Ubuntu system. It covers every conceivable aspect of the Ubuntu-Linux OS. There is historical background in several places describing the evolution of the system. There are a large number of web sites listed for user’s groups, support and general interest in the OS system. The author is thoroughly aquainted with the system. He admits that this 904 page volume does not cover all of Ubuntu’s capabilities. What is covered is well written, describing how the various programs that are installed should operate and how to get them to operate correctly. Some files have to be downloaded, ex. plug-ins for the DVD player; they are copyrighted. This book shows how this is done including extraction of .tar.gz files. This book will be useful for many years for the Ubuntu user.
