Linux Ubuntu
Totally 2 parts. This is part-1 A tutorial suitable for beginners. Very detailed and specific. Beginning Ubuntu Linux is split into seven parts, each of which contains chapters about a certain aspect of Ubuntu use. These parts can be read in sequence, or you can dip in and out of them at will. Whenever a technical term is mentioned, a reference is made to the chapter where that term is explained. Part 1 examines at the history and philosophy behind the Linux operating system. I aim to answer many of the common questions about Linux. Such knowledge is considered to be as important, if not more so, than understanding the technical details on how Linux works. But while these chapters should be read sooner rather than later, they don’t contain any technical information that you absolutely require to get started with Ubuntu. Part 2 covers installing Ubuntu on your computer. An illustrated guide is provided, and all installation choices are explained in depth. Additionally, you’ll find a problem-solving chapter to help in case anything goes wrong. Part 3 focuses on getting started with Ubuntu. It covers setting up the Linux system so that it’s ready to use. One chapter is dedicated to setting up common hardware devices, such as printers and modems, and another explains how you can secure your system. Other chapters in this part explore the desktop, explaining what you need to know to begin using Ubuntu on a daily basis. In Part 4, we take a look at how the underlying technology behind Linux functions. You’ll be introduced to the command-line prompt and learn how the file system works. It’s in these chapters that you’ll really master controlling Linux! Part 5 covers multimedia functions built into Ubuntu, which let you watch movies and play back music. We also take a look at the image-editing software built into Ubuntu. Part 6 moves on to explain how typical office tasks can be accomplished under Ubuntu. We investigate OpenOffice.org, the complete office suite built into Ubuntu. After an introduction to OpenOffice.org, separate chapters explore its word processor, spreadsheet, database, and presentation package. You’ll also learn how to use Evolution, Ubuntu’s e-mail program, and how to run Microsoft Office under Ubuntu. Part 7 carries on from Part 4, taking an even more in-depth look at the underlying technology behind Ubuntu. This time, the emphasis is on giving you the skills you need to keep your system running smoothly. You’ll learn how to install software, manage users, optimize your system, back up essential data, schedule tasks, and access computers remotely. Finally, at the back of the book, you’ll find four appendixes. The first is a glossary of Linux terms used not only in this book, but also in the Linux and Unix world. The second appendix is a quick reference to commands typically used at the command-line prompt under Linux. The third appendix explains how to get further help when using Ubuntu. The final appendix briefly describes some other versions of Ubuntu that differ from the one accompanying this book.
