  Ubuntu is tremendously popular. It is considered the #1 Linux distribution at DistroWatch.com. This new edition covers such topics as installation, desktop applications, troubleshooting advice, the Ubuntu community structure, Kubuntu, Ubuntu server installation and basic administration. Ubuntu is entirely committed to the principles of free software development. When the reader finishes an Ubuntu installation the system is immediately usable with a full set of business productivity applications, internet applications, drawing and graphics applications, and games. The accompanying DVD provides a very good desktop environment out of the box, with many applications for business, home, and personal computer users installed by default. There are thousands of additional pieces of software that are just a few clicks away, but the hard work to get the basics in place easily and effectively has already been done.
