"Good Book, Easy Read" This book is very well written, easy to read, and provides a lot of information. I already knew most of the information, but it was good to learn the stuff I didn't.

It's only about 70-ish pages of actual content, with a full copy of the GNU/GPL license. The book is pretty thin, but a good place for those who are new to Ubuntu to start.

"Great for new users!" I finished this book in just a few hours and it looks like a great guide for any new Ubuntu/Linux user. Granted there isn’t anything in this book that I didn’t already know (and didn’t expect there would be), this will be a great guide to refer new users to. It would be a great companion at an install fest! (granted I’d need to buy a few more!)

This guide covers the basics & history of Linux, the basics of file structures, permissions, adding & removing packages, repositories and then everything from using your iPod to P2P to Instant Messaging to more advanced questions like wireless card support & partitioning.

The entire book is written very basically & is very easy to understand. I am sure if I gave this book to my dad he’d be able to easily find answers to all of the basic questions a new Linux user has.

For anyone that regularly shares & teaches basic Linux, especially Ubuntu, this is a great book to have.
