Book Reviews of Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference
Book Review: A Must-have!
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone brave enough as i was to leave Windows behind for Good and move on to an operating system that is smart, fast and above all FUN, such as Ubuntu, this book is a must-have companion. It is an easy read but not in a "dumbing-down" way. I received it mere days before my new desktop system arrived so, i was able to read it quite easily from cover-to-cover ahead of set-up and i keep it at arms length for the few bumps in the road that can occur when dealing with a new-to-you OS.
Hopefully this book will help in the promotion of Ubuntu as a worthy replacement and competitor to both Windows and MAC. So far, i have been happy!
