The Official Ubuntu Book — a book for Ubuntu newbies
If you want to have an idea as to what Ubuntu is, it’s time to grab a copy of the Official Ubuntu Book. In our office, we have the second edition of the book. I think that it’s worth buying especially if you have people in your office who might be intimidated with the new operating system. You could probably walk them through using Ubuntu with this book. It has the basics of using Ubuntu and it also gives users an idea of what basic operations they could do, as well as the basic systems administrations tasks.
If you are trying to do certain things like distro upgrades and user management as well, you might want to take a look at this book. Even if you’re online and wondering about certain terms, it will be fine. This is one book that wouldn’t intimidate you. The screenshots will be enough to keep people interested and happily using Ubuntu. Well, unless they get really difficult problems to troubleshoot, that is. And as such, there might be those people who would think that the book is just dead tree copy of the wiki or something. Maybe so. But if you’re someone who’s more comfortable with a book, this would be great. Also good for people who don’t have internet access at home and need some basic help.
I think that I should look at the shelf in the office if we have the Ubuntu Hacks book :)
