Rating: - Ubuntu Linux
The book is for an outdated verison of Ubuntu. This book is for V6 and current version is V7. Still, much is the same.
Rating: - dumb
They got the title wronge, it is ubuntu by dummies. I bought this book to understand how to install ubuntu. This is the most important thing. if this goes wrong your computer is trash. They put in a few paragraphs on this subjech; my computer is trash. I was also interested in a simple explanation of the linux language. all they talk about is gnome.
Rating: - Good Information
My only complaint is that I am using an IMAC and nowhere on the front cover of the book or any where else could I find any thing that said the book was for "Ubuntu Linux" for PCs. I was hoping to use the enclosed software CD, but alas, it wouldn't run on my IMAC. However, probably 95% of the information is also good for IMAC users so I didn't loose every thing when I bought the book. It has helped me out of several tight spots.
Rating: - Does not include Live CD!
I am very fond of the For Dummies series of books. However, all throughout this book and on the cover it states that there is a free live CD that comes with this book. It does not in fact come with this. Even though Linux is always free and always will be, the book should not be advertised as complete with a free CD if it does not have this included with it.
Rating: - Great product
This was even better than I expected. Not only is the book ease to understand but it comes with a free verson of the programs it describes. This was just great.
