Nice introduction

I read through parts of the book I found relevant to my situation, and found it as a nice introduction. It is well written and not just a technical read, but provides some interesting insights. But as far as useful, I honestly don't use it as a reference for my Ubuntu needs. To help me set up my system, I almost always resort to the expansive Ubuntu forums, and free online documentation.

Essential Ubuntu Book

According to my fiancee whom I bought the book for, this book is great. It's easy to understand and good for beginners as well as advanced users. He refers to this book quite often, so it has to be good!

Ubuntu Linux Book Review

Good beginner book on Ubuntu Linux which is the easiest Linux OS I know off. I use Kubuntu which is also mentioned in the book. I use it for controlling a Computer Numercial Control milling machine and a CNC lathe. I also use it for web browsing, CAD drawing, Office aplications, etc. Ubuntu linux has come along way in being the most plug and play and easiest to install. The list of freely available approved software is large and is getting better everyday. Book explains how to find software and install it.

A great help for beginners

When you install and run Ubuntu, there is lots of "stuff" there that you can use just the way it is, but, using "The Official Ubuntu Book" allows you to customize and enhance the Linux experience without having to "get under the covers" and type cryptic command line code. I found it very helpful, except in one small area: I wanted to run some Windows applications under WINE, but I still haven't been able to make WINE work. I suspect I will have work a little harder at it. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone just getting started with Ubuntu Linux.
