4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Overview for Transitioning to Ubuntu
I've been away from Unix and Linux for several years. I read the book cover-to-cover; it was a nice refresher. People new to Linux will appreciate the overview. Those current with Linux might be annoyed with the lower percentage of Ubuntu-specific substance.

I've been away from Unix and Linux for several years. I read the book cover-to-cover; it was a nice refresher. People new to Linux will appreciate the overview. Those current with Linux might be annoyed with the lower percentage of Ubuntu-specific substance.

For example, I wanted to solve a wireless problem and a problem installing on a small notebook without optical drive. I had to turn to the Ubuntu Hacks book (recommended) to get information of substance.

In summary, time is money. If you are transitioning to Ubuntu, you will probably get your money's worth in time and frustration saved. The book is well written and well organized.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ubuntu 7.10 Linux, May 9, 2008
Thus far I've enjoyed reading this book because it carries Linux newbies, like myself, from a very basic stage to an advanced level. Keep up the great work guys in sharing the knowledge.
Thanks.
