This sixth edition of Beginning Ubuntu Linux introduces all of
us--newbies, power users and system administrators--to the Natty Narwhal
Ubuntu release.
Based on the bestselling fifth edition, this edition introduces the new
Unity interface while not neglecting the finely-tuned administration
techniques for new users present in previous editions. Whether you aim
to use it in the home or in the office, you'll be introduced to the
complete world of Ubuntu Linux, from simple word processing to using
cloud services.
You'll learn how to control the Ubuntu system which you just installed
as you are guided through common tasks, such as configuring the system's
graphical user interface, listening to audio CDs and MP3s, producing
documents, using VoIP and chat, and of course, general system
maintenance. Emilio also introduces the improved software center and
Ubuntu's multitouch capabilities. This book supplies a series of
comprehensive tutorials on Ubuntu administration and security--essential
for any Ubuntu user--while not neglecting matters pertaining to office
applications and the Cloud.
