Review: This large book covers Linux’ free distribution, named Ubuntu. It includes a fully functioning and complete operating system produced by the Ubunta community and covers Ubunta v. 8.04 LTS (commonly known as the Hardy Heron). A full copy of Ubuntu is included on the disc, enabling the reader to install Linux in less than one hour. The book is organised into seven parts, covering: installation and configuration; Ubuntu on the desktop; system administration; Ubuntu as a server; programming Linux; Ubuntu housekeeping; and Appendices. The latter include: Ubuntu under the hood; Installation resources; and Ubuntu and Linux internet resources.
