Product Description

Product Description

The Ubuntu distribution simplifies Linux by providing a sensible collection of applications, an easy-to-use package manager, and lots of fine-tuning, which make it possibly the best Linux for desktops and laptops. Readers of both Linux Journal and TUX Magazine confirmed this by voting Ubuntu as the best Linux distribution in each publication's 2005 Readers Choice Awards. None of that simplification, however, makes Ubuntu any less fun if you're a hacker or a power user. Like all books in the "Hacks" series, Ubuntu Hacks includes 100 quick tips and tricks for all users of all technical levels. Beginners will appreciate the installation advice and tips on getting the most out of the free applications packaged with Ubuntu, while intermediate and advanced readers will learn the ins-and-outs of power management, wireless roaming, 3D video acceleration, server configuration, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ubuntu Hacks: The best collection of tips for GNU/Linux, 5 Sep 2006
A book with quick tips and short Howto's
The best collection of tips for GNU/Linux.
(MUGARA, Macintosh User Group Aragón/Spain)

Ubuntu is a distro that is easy to obtain and install, but most of the hacks in this book can be applied to any GNU/Linux installation.

There are immediate fixes and solutions for the usual problems encountered by home and business users, whether they come from Windowsor Mac. For example, there are solutions for the use of wireless devices, input-output devices, PDA,s (Palm or WindowsMobile), as well as sections on what to do if something goes wrong.

There is continuity between the chapters, which allows the user to learn gradually about "hacking" the system. It,s not just a "list of tips from A to Z".

There are chapters devoted to security and the use of multimedia no only reproducing multimedia elements, but also creating and editing them.

In short, if your problem has happened to someone, this book has the solution.
