Basic and concise 10 May 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This book was ideal for me as it points out usefull ubuntu commands which are current and gives an enlightening snapshot of linux for a windows user. There is nothing ground breaking or too demanding in this text but it is well worth the minimal cost.

It's exactly what it says on the box. This is a relatively short book, which first gives an overview of the history of UNIX, GNU, Linux and Ubuntu, and then talks a little bit about free software. Then it gives you an introduction to Ubuntu, and working on the command line. It's an interesting read, and can be covered in a long evening, though it's probably better to spread it out a little bit and sit in front of your computer while reading it. It comes at no cost at all (almost), and a great thing is that it actually makes you feel like you want to learn more. Highly recommended!

Having a good understanding of Windows and a minimal understanding of unix/linux, this book really helped me move forward. It doesn't go into too much detail, but gives just enough to understand what it can do - You can then go and research any problems further on google with the correct terminology.

If you run a graphical application from the command-line its necessary to precede it with gksu instead of sudo. &quote;

Instead, a neat trick is used: the command is preceded by a dot and a slash. The following will run a program called browser thats been downloaded to the folder the user is currently in: ./browser &quote;
