Ubuntu builds on a solid base of Debian Linux to create an award-winning operating
system that's light-years ahead of its competitors. Ubuntu consistently tops
lists of the most popular Linuxes amongst professionals and enthusiasts; Dell
recently embraced Ubuntu in its product lines after a user survey indicated
overwhelming public support.
Ubuntu Kung Fu provides hints, hacks, tweaks and tricks for every level of
user. Guaranteed to be free of the usual dross that fills tips books, Ubuntu
Kung Fu is written to be entertaining and, above all, readable. Its 300+ concise
tips utilize and exploit hidden or lesser-known features to boost day-to-day
productivity. You'll also find tips on tweaking Ubuntu, wrangling the system
into shape, optimizing, enhancing security, and lots more. Learn what extraordinary
things can be done with Ubuntu.
Written with the migrating Windows or Mac OS X user in mind, Ubuntu Kung Fu
avoids the usual Linux/Unix folklore that can send most of us to sleep. The
tips have one aim--to produce results as quickly as possible, in an environment
where the reader can polish their skills as they read. This is the Linux book
for the rest of us.
