Thanks Maurice. 

It has taken me this long to "get my feet wet" with some version of Linux,
and I chose Ubuntu based on an article I read on ZDNET. While the Ubuntu GUI
makes it easy to get going, I fully plan to "get under the hood" . Your
recommendation sounds great.

As an experienced Windows user, I've been admiring Linux for years, but was
never certain where and when to jump on. I like Ubuntu, and hopefully this
book will send me on my way..........

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Based on very positive reviews, I just purchased Beginning Ubuntu Linux from
Novice to Professional by Keir Thomas.  It came today and looks to be a
worthwhile reference.  Cost was $29 all up according to the invoice that
came with the book.  I brought it through Amazon.ca

Hope this helps,

Maurice
