 Good for a Intro to Linux or advanced users May 6, 2010

I am a IT Tech in the Army, we don't use Linux a lot though. I have used it off and on over the past few years but an bu no means a Guru on Linux. Started using Ubuntu 2 years ago. It's a lot easier than most version of Linux out there. I definately recommend it for a beginner, switching over from Windows is a lot easier than you might think with Ubuntu. Have a special program that only runs on Windows? Most likely not a problem with Wine, the Windows emulator.
The videos included are useful though I don't think the handout card with the commands will be very useful for a beginner, better off looking up what you are trying to do on the Ubuntu forums or google it. The set includes both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions. There's never been a better time to walk away from Windows if you are primarily using computers for internet, email or basic business, If you are a extensive gamer, well, Windows might be for you, There are games for Linux and games that run in Wine, but Windows is likely where you want to stay.

This is a great kit for those who are first starting out the great Ubuntu Linux. If you have never used Linux before, or have little Linux experience and zero Ubuntu experience you should buy it. I think this is a must have kit for anyone who (like myself) has invested the time and effort to install, use and learn Ubuntu.
I would definitely recommend this kit to anyone just getting started with Ubuntu Linux.

DVD X DVD was a great company. My DVD did not work, they sent me a new one and then sent me a CD when my DVD still did not read it. Customer service was GD exceptional.
Now know I am the guy that still complains that MS bailed on MS-DOS, and got on quite well but still cuss that stupid windows XP. And would live to stick it to Bill Gates like he does to me.
But do not set out on the Unix journey if you are on dialup. It is not the place for you.
I was amazed that UBUNTU took in everything but my MODEM. It found my usb disks, my zip disks, my HP printer and scanner, my SD cards.
If I were just in DSL or Wireless, It might be heaven. And BG's would be my bitch. And nothing makes me happier than Billie with lipstick, squeeling like a pig.

I have used Unix for decades at work, but have always had to "deal" with Windows, its viruses, its registry and its lockups. So easy to install and use, everything just works beautifully. I gave up on Windows when Vista came out and although I like OS X, Apple's stranglehold on computers running their OS has made that proposition a tad expensive. Ubuntu is aimed toward everyday users. I really think this puts Linux within reach of almost anyone with basic computer skills and a little willingness to work though small problems. Ubuntu is cleaner, leaner, and more stable than Windows. This set works for me, library has valuable books, videointro freshes up my Unix skills. Keep up the great job!

Ubuntu 9.10 has a pleasurable design, very smooth installation and easy to use menu system. CD with the Library is great, I saved my time and money not to browse in bookstores for these materials. I watched video dvd 3 or 4 times and it gave me very smart hints how to work with Linux hassle-free. My expedited order came on time, even 1 day earlier, in a nice package.
