 Not for old school October 9, 2008

This book does not have a list of all commands showing their operation and syntax. This would seem to be appropriate for a book intended to be a primer.
 Great for New Ubuntu Users / Not so great for seasoned Ubuntu users October 6, 2008
I have to give credit to the authors who put together a comprehensive book about Ubuntu. This book is just perfect for new users!
I decided to delve into building a server and purchased this book believing I would find much more information than I did. The book touches lightly on server setup and administration. So I was a little disappointed. There is a plethora of information about this topic on the Ubuntu Forums. I just wanted something that would have this information all in one place.
I gave this book to a friend who is new to Linux and hopefully he'll get the bug like I did several years ago.
Good purchase for someone considering ubuntu October 6, 2008
This book is a good value because it is thorough and contains the OS on disk. Yes, of course the OS is free, but if you are someone who is not a linux user, you hardly want "compiling the linux kernel" to be your first experience.
To be perfectly honest, I haven't found myself enthralled with ubuntu, and find I am using that XP option on the dual boot most of the time, but this book was still a very good purchase. For $25 bucks both an extensive reference manual and the actual OS is a good idea for someone considering ubuntu.
Absolute Beginners Only September 22, 2008

Well if you are wanting to know the entire history line of ubuntu rather than working the OS then this book is for you. I know that if I had known that over half the book was the history of Ubuntu I wouldn't have thought of buying it. Think this book will help you figure out a difficult hardware problem like wireless think again, rather it will tell you to buy a card that is compatible which is downright saddening. Ubuntu Forums has 20 times the info one would need to fix problems. If though you are a first time Ubuntu user or want to try it out buy it up. It comes with a Live/Install disk so you can test drive the OS.
The Official UBUNTU Review September 17, 2008
New to Ubuntu and not a bad overview on the subject. However, if you are a geek, you will want a book with a little more meat.
