Product: 0470125055 This book was published in 2007, and is too far behind modern technology to be useful today. Examples: –The current release of Ubuntu is version 12.0.4. This book addresses version 6 (and includes a Live CD edition of this version). –In discussing the addition of an Ubuntu installation to a computer running Windows, the Windows operating system portions do not include any discussions of operating systems newer than Windows XP.

Product: 013236039X A really good book for learning Linux Ubuntu - 8.04 / 8.10. I still have this book, but I’ve moved on and now use a much later version of Ubuntu and other flavors. Rating: 5 013236039X Count: 13

Product: 1593276036 I like Python. I like its internal consistency. I like its design that all but ensures there is one right way to write almost anything and that any good Python programmer can figure that way out and use it. I have reviewed several Python-focused books and expect to do so in the future. So, this review will not be about the language itself, but about how well the book covers the language and provides interesting use cases.

Product: 0470467010 I read this book cover to cover hoping to learn a bit more about Linux than I’ve learned from just poking around on my own. In all honestly, I didn’t learn a ton from this book that I didn’t already know. I can’t, however, blame the book for that. It is directed at people who are new to Linux. If you aren’t incredibly tech savvy and want to jump into Linux (this is probably a minority demographic) then this is the book for you.

Product: 007148874X I have taken this book out of my library while waiting for a new Linux+ study guide, which is not the same person who wrote this one. I read the first chapter and I have worked with Linux and Unix for many years and are familiar with both. It was interesting some of the topics that were mentioned but at issues were the chapter questions that I noticed had some errors and asked some information that was not discussed in the chapter.

Product: 0133017532 A server book may not seem relevant to desktop Ubuntu but knowing more about the core technology can be very useful. You can pick up this knowledge along the way using Web forums and search engine queries, but nothing compares to absorbing such information efficiently through a consolidated medium such as this book. Reading up on these things can at least prepare you in knowing more about what is available, how it works, and where to look for more information.

Product: Ubuntu Made Easy Do you want to install an operating system on your computer without having to pay for one? Are you tired of spending money on programs and applications? Do you want to experience something new and stand out amongst the sea of people who use Windows operating systems or Mac operating systems? If you answered yes to any or all of the questions, a Linux operating system is the solution for you.

Product: How Linux Works I don’t feel that I wasted my time by reading this book; however, the information in the book contained references to configuration files on Ubuntu that were incorrect. Although this is a generic book on Linux, information provided about specific flavors should still be accurate. Rating: 3 1593270356 Count: 59

Product: 0470082933 If your familiar with Debian or Ubuntu but don’t know the command line that well, this is the text for you. The author assumes you know basic operations in Ubuntu but that you would like to carry them out through the terminal. This was just what I needed, since all my computational work produces lots of data and I need to process it quickly. The book is well written and formatted.
