book’s value goes well beyond its purchase price and it’ll make a great
addition to the Linux section of your bookshelf.”

“The author has done a very good job at clarifying such a detail-oriented
operating system. I have extensive UNIX and Windows experience and this
text does an excellent job at bridging the gaps between Linux, Windows,
and UNIX. I highly recommend this book to both ‘newbs’ and experienced
users. Great job!”

“When I first started working with Linux just a short 10 years or so ago,
it was a little more difficult than now to get going. . . . Now, someone
new to the community has a vast array of resources available on the
web, or if they are inclined to begin with Ubuntu, they can literally find
almost every single thing they will need in the single volume of Mark
Sobell’s A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux

.
“I’m sure this sounds a bit like hyperbole. Everything a person would
need to know? Obviously not everything, but this book, weighing in at
just under 1200 pages, covers so much so thoroughly that there won’t
be much left out. From install to admin, networking, security, shell
scripting, package management, and a host of other topics, it is all
there. GUI and command line tools are covered. There is not really any
wasted space or fluff, just a huge amount of information. There are
screen shots when appropriate but they do not take up an inordinate
amount of space. This book is information-dense.”

“Mark G. Sobell’s freshly revised reference work on Ubuntu Linux may
be the most impressive computer book I’ve seen in the last 10 years. If
you are currently stranded with a pile of abandoned computers on a
desert isle, I’m telling you, this is the book.”
