Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Fourth Edition is the update to the bestselling book on Ubuntu, today's hottest Linux distribution. Targeting newcomers to Linux and to the Ubuntu distribution alike, readers are presented with an introduction to the world of Linux and open source community, followed by a detailed overview of Ubuntu's installation and configuration process. From there readers learn how to wield total control over their newly installed operating system, and are guided through common tasks such as writing documents, listening to audio CDs and MP3s, watching movies, using VoIP and chat, and of course general system maintenance matters.


Additionally, there's a series of comprehensive tutorials on Linux internals and the command-line prompt -- essential for any Linux user -- and the book includes special sections on optimization, security, and system maintenance.


The book comes with a DVD containing the complete Ubuntu Linux distribution. All you need to do is insert the DVD and follow the instructions in the book to install this distribution.
