Hi Everyone, I too can vouch for Keir Thomas & Jaime Sicam's book - although it hasn't got me out of my scrambled scren 'hole' yet, it was a real support while I was styarting out on the Linux road. Add to that the Live user mode on the DVD which is still in use until I can summon up the courage to reinstall the whole shooting match.
The scrambled screen issue is still fouling up my all-singing-al;l-dancing use of Ubuntu, but Live user from the DVD is a real get-you-home utility; I can access my hard drive, print, access removable media and go online - all from the DVD. I've just not made use of e-mail access since everything has to be reconfigured every time the system is started. As a promotional tool - to show non-believers how Ubuntu looks and works - Live user is a gem. Any more hints on my scrambled screen issue would be much appreciated!
