ubuntu for non-geeks

This book is very easy to understand. I am 70 yrs old and am having no problem learning Ubuntu. The book makes it fun and easy. The disc with the book is Ubuntu 7.04. I have Ubuntu 7.10 on my computer, but the menus, etc. seem to be the same.


Excellent recourse

The is an excellent resource for new LINUX users. It goes through everything step-by-step to get new LINUX users up and running quickly. Goes great with the LINUX bible.


I really enjoyed this book

A very well structured tutorial for absolute beginners. Written in a friendly, entertaining, companionable style. I am new to Linux and found the book filled in a lot of the background history to the development of Linux and provided enough information about the file structure and concepts such as the Bash shell for me to understand at a basic level what I'm doing. Highly recommended for any non-programmer who is interested in trying out Linux. After following through the exercises in the book you will have a fully functional multimedia system and will be able to confidently customise your Ubuntu system to make it look and feel exactly the way you want it.

I have tried other Linux programs before this, but I really like this one. Between the book and the included installation disc, you can't go wrong.
