Even the name is user friendly-it's a South African term that translates roughly as "humanity toward others" and could also describe author Rickford Grant's approach to teaching Linux. Full of tips, tricks, and helpful pointers, Ubuntu for Non-Geeks, 3rd Edition is a hands-on, project-based guide to Ubuntu 8.04 for those interested in-but nervous about-switching to the Linux operating system. This edition has been updated for Hardy Heron, the latest Ubuntu release (8.04), with its improved multimedia support and desktop effects. Step-by-step projects build upon earlier tutorial concepts, helping you absorb and apply what you've learned. Ubuntu for Non-Geeks covers those day-to-day tasks that most non-geeks will want to perform, like how to: Download and install free software, games, and utilities Connect to wired and wireless networks or transfer files via Bluetooth Configure printers, scanners, monitors, and USB flash drives Watch DVDs, listen to music, and even sync your iPod Edit and share your digital photos and videos Customize the look and feel of your system Tackle more advanced tasks like working with commands and using Windows applications Whether you're new to computers, looking for a pain-free way to make the Linux switch, or just want a low-cost alternative to Windows, Ubuntu 8.04 is easier than ever. Try it and you'll see. 606 $aOperating systems (Computers) 615 0$aOperating systems (Computers) 676 $a005.4/32 700 $aGrant$b Rickford$01624421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821260003321 996 $aUbuntu for non-geeks$93959382 997 $aUNINA
