I’m a 20-year veteran of Windows-based computing. This was the second book I bought to support my first attempt to deploy a Linux-based IT infrastructure. It was more than good enough for me to set up a laptop, a server and a rudimentary Apache / PHP / MySQL web site. The first book, despite being only 18 months old, was hopelessly out of date. Enough has changed between Ubuntu’s version 12 and 13 that few of the examples it offered were easy to follow. This book (Ubuntu Unleashed 2013) was vastly better in this respect, although not perfect. I get the sense that the Linux world changes quickly enough that it must be pretty difficult for books like this to keep up.
