5.0 out of 5 stars Top Book, 13 Feb 2009
By Mr. R. Mcmanus (Derby, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ubuntu Unleashed 2008: Covering 8.04 and 8.10 (Paperback)
This is a brilliant book. I would describe it as a must ahve for any Ubuntu user. I goes into masses of detail and is an ideal reference or to use as a complete learning guide. I do not know how I started Linux without this. It is well written, easy to understand and goes into enough depth for most people. I would recommend it to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth its weight in gold, 15 Feb 2009

This review is from: Ubuntu Unleashed 2008: Covering 8.04 and 8.10 (Paperback)
Ubuntu Unleashed 2008: Covering 8.04 and 8.10

I downloaded 8.04 on a spare machine and played with it for a while, decided I liked it. Bought this book so I could understand Ubuntu better.

I found the book informative, clear and concise, it certainly helped me understand what I was doing, allowed me to correct some mistakes I had made just playing, and as the title suggests has allowed me to "unleash" Unbuntu.

The detail, coupled with the easy hints and tips, allows me to use it as a reference book and a handy "how to" manual, and although most of the information is on the web having the book open next to me is better when doing something.

Clear references to web resources do however let you take it further and I would recommend this book to beginner and new to Unbuntu "expert" as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive but not for beginners, 10 Jun 2009
This review is from: Ubuntu Unleashed 2008: Covering 8.04 and 8.10 (Paperback)
Good reference book but beginners beware. If you're new to Linux this is not for you.

The first comprehensive coverage of the Ubuntu version 8.10 but largely applicable to 8.04 in general. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Administrators Companion
This book explains things in a concise and logical way. It doesn't go into heavily advanced subjects and doesn't always tell you why you're doing something. Read more
