Book Review: Beginning Ubuntu Linux (2nd edition)
Thomas should have called this book Everything You’ll Ever Want To Know About Using Ubuntu. Not only is this a great guide to getting started with Ubuntu specifically and Linux in general but it contains just about anything anyone would ever need to become completely functional and productive with their new OS.
The book is comprised of 8 parts, 33 chapters and four appendixes. The divisions are well thought out and guide the reader from the concept of Linux as an OS and as a philosophy to the appendices with information about BASH, a Linux glossary and more.
Part 1, Introducing the World of Linux gives a brief history of Linux along with a realistic look at what it’s like to run Linux every day, with the obligatory quote of Linus’ Usenet post.
Part 2, Installing Ubuntu covers the whole gamut of installs; from the pre-install checklist through the various ways to use Ubuntu (liveCD, dual boot, single boot, virtualization) to troubleshooting post install issues.
