Ubuntu Linux is the easiest Linux distribution yet. I’m a computer programmer by trade and I have played with Linux in the past and felt it just wasn’t ready for the mainstream public. Linux has come a long way in the last couple of years and Ubuntu proves that Linux IS a mature O/S that can be learned and loved by anyone.
Beginning Ubuntu Linux is one of the best books I have ever read about any Linux distribution. It introduces you to this foreign O/S called Linux. It helps you with the install and then it leads you on a journey of installing software that you will really use every day. The best part of all is you don’t have to pay anyone for the use of the software this book shows you because it’s almost all free. That’s right I said free. The author has went to great lengths to find free software that the everyday Jane or Joe will use and then he takes it a step farther and gives you information about the software and he also provides links to other software that may be of use to you.
This book is so easy that even my wife (a non-technical person) could pick it up and start working with Ubuntu.
I wish Ubuntu and this book would have been around 2 or 3 years ago.
