"A fast, crystal-clear topical tour of the amazing collective accomplishment embodied in Ubuntu."
- Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
The Ubuntu Linux distribution makes Linux easy, and Ubuntu for Non-Geeks makes it even easier. Full of tips, tricks, and helpful pointers, this guide is perfect for those interested in - but nervous about - switching to the Linux operating system.
This edition is packed with new material covering all the latest features of Ubuntu. It includes five new chapters that take you through common tasks like installing and playing games, troubleshooting common hardware and software problems, and more.
By following along with the book's straightforward explanations and step-by-step projects, you'll learn the basics and beyond, including how to:
- Install Ubuntu and keep it updated
- Set up printers, scanners, USB flash drives, iPods, iPhones, and other devices
- Edit and share digital photos and videos
- Create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations
- Work with the command line (or avoid it altogether!)
If you're looking for a pain-free way to learn Linux, Ubuntu for Non-Geeks is just what you need to get started.
