Winner of a Linux Journal Editor's Choice 2006 award (first edition)!Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Second Edition updates the best-selling and award-winning first edition. It's the perfect guide for those switching to the world's favorite Linux. The new edition has been thoroughly updated to cover technology introduced in the 6.10 release.
In the 680+ fully illustrated pages, you'll learn how to install Linux, set up your hardware and software, customize the desktop experience, browse the Web and send/receive e-mail, play back audio and video, edit digital images, use the OpenOffice.org office suite, and more.

A whole third of the book is dedicated to Linux internals, including managing system processes and working at the command line. Two appendices provide a glossary of Linux terms and an index of commands that can be used to control Ubuntu.
Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Second Edition is a complete, comprehensive, and unbiased guide to getting the most from Ubuntu.
Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Second Edition features a unique DVD-ROM companion disk containing the full Ubuntu installation that you can install on your computer. A full installation guide is provided in the book. Also included on the DVD-ROM are the Ubuntu sister projects, such as Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, and others. Both the long-term support and 6.10 releases of all projects are provided.
According to DistroWatch (http://www.distrowatch.org), the industry standard for determining Linux distribution penetration and popularity, Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntulinux.org) is presently the #1 most popular distribution out of the 100 monitored variations, beating out heavyweights such as Fedora and SUSE. Indeed, a huge user base has assembled around this community-driven distribution since its inception, and efforts will surely be bolstered as a result of the recent formation of the Ubuntu Foundation, backed with an initial funding round of $10 million and the considerable resources of project founder and tech magnate Mark Shuttleworth.
Beginning Ubuntu Linux: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition is the update to the best-selling first book introducing Ubuntu Linux. Adapted from Keir Thomas' best-selling Beginning SUSE Linux: From Novice to Professional (Apress, 2005), Thomas guides readers through the most commonly desired yet confusing concepts and tasks confronted by new Linux users. Purposely focused on end users to satisfy the growing interest in migrating away from Windows to the increasingly mature Linux desktop platform, this book serves as a guide to a rapid and transparent familiarization of those features most treasured by general and power desktop users alike.
