User review Ubuntu Toolbox
Rated out of 5 stars, February 12rd, 2010
Excellent book goes into more detail than The Official Ubuntu Book, more for those who want to get under under -
A practical 'cookbook'
Rated out of 5 stars, January 12th, 2010
A practical and useful reference for those of us not working in IT but needing a short cut to taking advantage of the full versatility and wide scope of Ubuntu.Explains not only how but why in a straightforward way without assuming too much prior experience by the reader. Well indexed and logically laid out.Easy to find guidance on any particular current interest without having to read the whole book.In my opinion good value for money. -
An excellent handbook
Rated out of 5 stars, November 12th, 2009
As A relative newcomer to Ubuntu and Linux I found this handbook an excellent resource for getting more familiar with using the command line. Whilst still not an expert I can now do virtually everything I need to do to manage my system effectively.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this book. -
A Simply Brilliant Book!
Rated out of 5 stars, October 12rd, 2009
I would recommend this book for any Debian Linux / *Ubuntu user. Whether you are new to the system or have some experience but just need some help finding out how to do certain things.
The contents are perfectly laid out which makes finding what you want very quick and painless. Each tutorial is brilliantly written and explains each example in a way that makes it stick in your mind and gives you enough to expand on the example using other reference material i.e Linux Pocket Guide or Linux in a Nutshell.
I mainly used the internet as reference which was very good but this book in my opinion is easier and it teaches you instead of just giving the answer.
I believe you could download Ubuntu and work through this book to become a very skilled Linux user. I'm not saying the resources would give the reader enough knowledge to become LPI Level 3 certified but it will definitely send them on the right path.
Hats off to the Authors -
Far too advanced for me
Rated out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2009
I am a complete learner of UBUNTU LINUX and this book if I had been able to understand it is no doubt excellent but at my standard I changed it to UBUNTU for dummies and this is just what I needed.
