This review is from: Ubuntu Linux: Your visual blueprint to using the Linux operating system (Paperback)
This book is a worthwhile supplement to Beginning UBuntu Linux, Third Edition, which I had previously bought. It covers much of the same material, but its profuse illustratins clarify the mostly solid text of Beginning Ubuntu Linux. It is a worthwhile addition.
