Praise for A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux

ôI am so impressed by how Mark Sobell can approach a complex topic in
such an understandable manner. His command examples are especially
useful in providing a novice (or even advanced) administrator with a
cookbook on how to accomplish real-world tasks on Linux. He is truly an
inspired technical writer!ö
ûGeorge Vish II, Senior Education Consultant, Hewlett-Packard Company

ôOverall, I think itÆs a great, comprehensive Ubuntu book thatÆll be a
valuable resource for people of all technical levels.ö
ûJohn Dong, Ubuntu Forum Council Member, Backports Team Leader

ôThe JumpStart sections really offer a quick way to get things up and
running, allowing you to dig into the details of his books later.ö
ûScott Mann, Aztek Networks

ôUbuntu is gaining popularity at the rate alcohol did during
prohibition, and itÆs great to see a well-known author write a book on
the latest and greatest version. Not only does it contain
Ubuntu-specific information, but it also touches on general
computer-related topics, which will help the average computer user to
better understand whatÆs going on in the background. Great work, Mark!ö
ûDaniel R. Arfsten, Pro/ENGINEER Drafter/Designer

ôI read a lot of Linux technical information every day, but IÆm rarely
impressed by tech books. I usually prefer online information sources
instead. Mark SobellÆs books are a notable exception. TheyÆre clearly
written, technically accurate, comprehensive-and actually enjoyable to
read.ö
ûMatthew Miller, Senior Systems Analyst/Administrator, BU Linux Project,
Boston University Office, of Information Technology

ôI would so love to be able to use this book to teach a class about not
just Ubuntu or Linux but about computers in general. It is thorough and
well written with good illustrations that explain important concepts for
computer usage.ö
ûNathan Eckenrode, New York Local Community Team

Praise for Other Books by Mark Sobell

. I believe this book is one of the most comprehensive and, as the title
says, practical guides to Linux I have ever read. I consider myself a
novice and I come back to this book over and over again.ö
ûAlbert J. Nguyen

ôThank you for writing a book to help me get away from Windows XP and to
never touch Windows Vista. The book is great; I am learning a lot of new
concepts and commands. Linux is definitely getting easier to use.ö
ûJames Moritz

at the bookstore. I picked up a copy and am eagerly looking forward to
regaining my freedom.ö
ûCarmine Stoffo, Machine and Process Designer to pharmaceutical industry

and am finally understanding the true power of the command line. I am
new to Linux and your book is a treasure.ö
ûJuan Gonzalez

Creating a good presentation is much more than just clicking a few dialog boxes and typing some text. It requires knowledge and planning-lots of it. With the PowerPoint 2007 Bible you will not only be able to build a presentation with PowerPoint, but you’ll also be able to explain why you made the choices you did, and you’ll deliver that presentation smoothly and with confidence.

Experienced PowerPoint presenters will find the book full of coverage of Mcft's new Office user interface for PowerPoint, including the innovative Ribbon. Anyone using PowerPoint will appreciate the advice on how to avoid really bad PowerPoint, get beyond bullet points, and engage the audience by creating PowerPoint presentations that don't suck.

As you probably guessed by the heft of the book, this is not a quick-fix shortcut to PowerPoint expertise. Instead, it's a thoughtful, thorough educational tool that can be your personal trainer now and your reference text for years to come. That's because this book covers PowerPoint from "cradle to grave." No matter what your current expertise level with PowerPoint, this book brings you up to the level of the most experienced and talented PowerPoint users in your office. You might even be able to teach those old pros a thing or two!

But this book doesn't stop with PowerPoint procedures. Creating a good presentation is much more than just clicking a few dialog boxes and typing some text. It requires knowledge and planning-lots of it. That's why this book includes a whole chapter on planning a presentation, and another whole chapter on the practical issues involved in presenting one.

Linux for Dummies

Written on 11:33 PM by Sensei

Author(s) : Dee-Ann LeBlanc, Richard Blum
Publisher : Wiley
Year : Jul 2007
ISBN 10 : 0470116498
ISBN 13 : 9780470116494

Size : 4.5 MB

In this book, we introduce you to the wonders of the Linux operating system, originally created as a labor of love by Linus Torvalds in the early 1990s. Our goal is to initiate you into the rapidly growing ranks of Linux users and enthusiasts busily rewriting the rules for the operating system marketplace.

In this book, we keep the amount of technobabble to a minimum and stick with plain English as much as possible. Besides plain talk about Linux installation, boot up, configuration, and software, we include many examples, plus lots of detailed instructions to help you set up and use your very own Linux machine with a minimum of stress or confusion.

Think of this book as a friendly, approachable guide to tackling terminology and the Linux collection of tools, utilities, and widgets. Although Linux isn’t terribly hard to figure out, it does pack a boatload of details, parameters, and administrivia (administrative trivia, in UNIX-speak). You need to wrestle those details into shape while you install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot a Linux-based computer.
