Ebook: The Ubuntu Book

Many people who want to make the move from their Windows systems to a Linux
distribution choose Ubuntu as their first step. The reasons for this are clear, as it provides
a clean, attractive GUI with Unity, and usability by the bucket-load. It is the perfect
environment in which to begin learning about the command line and creating a more
customisable workspace, while still benefitting from the positives that you were used
to in Windows and other desktop systems. In this book, our aim is to guide you from
where you are now – whether that’s about to download Ubuntu, or looking for ways
to supercharge your experience – to becoming a confident Ubuntu power user. You’ll
discover the best features of Ubuntu’s default software, and the best FOSS apps for you
to download from the Software Centre. We’ll even suggest some re-spins of Ubuntu to
try, should you want to go beyond the basic Unity interface.
