"Ubuntu: Up and Running (Robin Nixon)" - by David-E-Hoffman-Jr on 20-DEC-2010
Reviewer Rating:
Good book. I recommend reading this for anyone who wants to get a firm understanding of Ubuntu, or if you're already familiar with Ubuntu this will help fill in the cracks. You'll learn how to use WINE to run Windows programs inside Ubuntu Linux. Also, you'll learn which desktop to choose for your computing experience and why from Gnome, KDE, or XFCE (don't let the names scare you).  You'll learn how to connect printers, sound cards, webcams, iPhones, etc. You'll also how to update your Ubuntu desktop or server regularly to stay safe, and basic networking functions such as sharing internet access or files with other users.
