Ubuntu For Non-Geeks, 2nd Edition
Ubuntu has been hailed as the Linux distribution for newbies, and it’s certainly the Linux for the less geeky among us. Even the name “Ubuntu” is user friendly (a South African term that translates roughly as “humanity toward others”). And that’s a phrase that could well describe author Rickford Grant’s approach to teaching Linux. Completely human.
Full of tips, tricks, and real-world projects, Ubuntu For Non-Geeks, 2nd Edition is a hands-on, project-based, take-it-slow guidebook for those interested in — but nervous about — switching to Linux.
This edition has been thoroughly updated for Feisty Fawn (v7.04), which spotlights multimedia support and desktop effects. Step-by-step projects throughout the book help readers absorb and apply what they’ve learned, as they learn, while they touch and play with their new operating system.
