I bought the Ubuntu Linux for Dummies book a while back, sorry cant remember what the price was, but that came from the USA, and arrived within 5 days. I was quite surprised to get it so quickly. It wasnt that expensive. Is this book any good, it has helped me a bit, but it is very basic. Is this book you mentioned worth getting as well as? I am looking for something that deals more with the Terminal, and how to use that now. Anybody know of any books that deal with Terminal basics?
Thank you. John.
