Ubuntu's Latest versions are currently in the 8's but if you want a great intro to Linux {Thats the complete operating system Windows DOESN'T want you to know about ;)} Then this is a great place to start. I've run Linux in my home for 8 years now and have wanted for nothing. Matter of fact a few of my Windows pals want to know how they can get some of MY features as even the new Vista still doesnt have what years old Linux versions came with standard.

I just installed ubuntu, and im impresed. Its fast, easy to use, and install. It uses just the free space on your hard drive without touching windows at all. It comes loaded with apps, such as office soft, internet... all for free. And it has no virus, spyware... im shocked and i love it.

Ubuntu is the easiest to use and install of the Linux systems I have tried. The only trouble i have seen is with the partitioner in some midsized disks.

This book made the perfect complement to the Official Ubuntu book. The projects were useful and explained well, and covered a wide range of needs and interests.
