This book has been invaluable to me. I have attempted to use Linux several times. I’ve tried Mandrake, RedHat, and some other smaller incarnations. I finally tried Ubuntu with much success. I like the whole Ubuntu/Debian philosophy. Since Ubuntu only includes open source software there are things you will be missing after you install it. This book helps you fill in the missing pieces. It also tells you how to customize the OS to your liking. The biggest things for me was playing DVDs and other media, connecting and synchronizing my PDA, wireless and multiple displays.

Buy this book. Unless you are an absolute expert you will find this book useful!
