| No Starch Press Publishes Ubuntu for Non-Geeks, 4th Edition - Revised and Expanded |
|
Ubuntu for Non-Geeks, 4th Edition makes the transition to Linux easy by offering readers hands-on instruction to help them get up, running, and comfortable with Ubuntu, fast. In addition to covering the latest features of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), this edition includes five new chapters that take readers through common tasks like installing games, accessing social networks, troubleshooting common hardware and software problems, connecting with the Ubuntu community, and accessing the files on their Windows installation. "A lot has happened since the first edition of Ubuntu for Non-Geeks came out, and Linux has attracted more users than ever before," said co-author Rickford Grant. "Our goal with this edition was to address the needs of the ever-growing, varied population of Linux users and to gently welcome newcomers into the world of Linux." Co-author Phil Bull went on to say, "We didn't want to introduce readers to Linux with list upon list of dry instructions. Instead, our approach was to concentrate on doing interesting things, tinkering with settings, working through cool projects, and generally having fun, while still covering the fundamentals." In Ubuntu for Non-Geeks, readers learn how to: * Install Ubuntu and keep it updated * Set up printers, scanners, USB flash drives, and other hardware * Install and play free games like Frets on Fire, Frozen Bubble, and Warzone 2100 * Watch DVDs, listen to music, and sync their iPod, iPhone, and other mobile devices * Edit and share digital photos and videos * Create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations * Customize the look and feel of their system * Work with Windows files and programs on Linux * Connect with the Ubuntu community to get support or join in * Work with the command line (or avoid it altogether!) Ubuntu for Non-Geeks, 4th Edition is just what readers need to get started with Linux. For more information: Ubuntu for Non-Geeks, 4th Edition |
