Book Review: The Official Ubuntu Book
The book’s forward and first chapter both discuss this philosophical distribution. Details on installing and configuring Ubuntu begin in chapter 2. The Ubuntu developers have done an outstanding job at making Ubuntu as easy to install as any other distribution, despite its Debian ancestry.
Chapter 3 covers most all the activities the average desktop computer user might need to do in the course of a day. It discusses finding and using the installed applications (adding new ones is covered in Chapter 4), understanding the file system, the various parts of the desktop and how to get around, adjusting the look and feel of Ubuntu and working with multimedia.
The next chapter deals with managing your system, keeping it updated and configured. It details working with devices like cameras and printers and ends with a look at the Terminal.
Using Ubuntu in a server configuration is covered from start to finish in chapter 5. You can even set up RAID under Ubuntu.
