Three Ubuntu Books, reviewed by Groklaw's luvr
This is perfect for a lazy day. Groklaw member luvr sends us his review of three Ubuntu books, “Moving to Ubuntu Linux,” by Marcel Gagné [article by Gagné, Moving to Ubuntu Linux], “The Official Ubuntu Book,” by Benjamin Mako Hill, Jono Bacon, Corey Burger, Jonathan Jesse, Ivan Krstić [sample chapter 4], “Ubuntu Unleashed,” by Andrew Hudson and Paul Hudson [sample chapter on installation]. Enjoy. Maybe today is a good day to give Ubuntu or Kubuntu a whirl, if you haven't already?
Three Ubuntu Books
~ reviewed by luvr
Even though I have been experimenting on and off with Linux for the past few years, I have remained mostly a Windows XP user (albeit with Firefox as my browser, Thunderbird as my e mail client, and OpenOffice.org more and more replacing that other office suite).
Just a few years ago, I didn’t consider Linux attractive enough to even consider making the switch—if only because it looked so clunky. That it needed a little work to get it working properly, wasn’t that much of a problem for me—I saw that mainly as an opportunity to learn more about it as I played with it.
These days, Linux has come a long way, and it has become far more visually attractive, as well as much easier to install.
I found three Ubuntu books that seemed interesting to me:
* “Moving to Ubuntu Linux,” written by Marcel Gagné (published by Addison-Wesley).
* “The Official Ubuntu Book,” written by Benjamin Mako Hill, Jono Bacon, Corey Burger, Jonathan Jesse, Ivan Krstić (published by Prentice Hall).
* “Ubuntu Unleashed,” written by Andrew Hudson and Paul Hudson (published by Sams Publishing).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
