The new edition of this best-selling guide to the Ubuntu Linux distribution
for beginners covers Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron. Step-by-step projects have you
interact with your system, rather than just read about it, as you build upon
previously learned concepts. Ubuntu for Non-Geeks covers topics likely to be
of interest to the average desktop user, such as installing new software via
Synaptic; Internet connectivity; working with removable storage devices,
printers, and scanners; burning DVDs, playing audio files, and even working
with iPods.
