Ubuntu for Non-Geeks
The new edition of this best-selling guide to Ubuntu Linux for beginners covers Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron. Step- by-step projects have the reader interact with their system, rather than just read about it, as they build upon previously learned concepts. Ubuntu for Non-Geeks covers topics likely to be of interest to the average desktop user, such as installing new software via Synaptic; Internet connectivity; working with removable storage devices, printers, and scanners; burning DVDs, playing audio files, and even working with iPods. The book also eases readers into the world of the command line and other more advanced topics. This edition features increased coverage of Bluetooth, wireless networking, and modems and, of course, coverage of the significant new features in the 8.04 release.
