Covers 20.04, 20.10, and 21.04
Ubuntu Linux Unleashed 2021 Edition is filled with unique and
advanced information for everyone who wants to make the most of the
Ubuntu Linux operating system. This new edition has been thoroughly
updated by a long-time Ubuntu user and early community leader to reflect
the exciting new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS release, with a forthcoming online
update mid-2021, at the halfway mark before the next LTS release comes
out.
Linux writer Matthew Helmke covers all you need to know about Ubuntu
20.04 LTS installation, configuration, productivity, command-line usage,
development, systems administration, server operations, networking,
virtualization, cloud computing, DevOps, and more--including
intermediate-to-advanced techniques you won't find in any other book.
Helmke presents up-to-the-minute introductions to Ubuntu's key
productivity and web development tools, programming languages, hardware
support, and more. You will find new or improved coverage of the Ubuntu
desktop experience, common web servers and software stacks, an
