This edition is the update to the best-selling first edition introducing Ubuntu Linux. Adapted from the best-selling first edition, this book guides readers through the most commonly desired yet confusing concepts and tasks confronted by new Linux users. It includes even more information regarding hardware integration and the many evolutionary changes to the Ubuntu interface. 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.
