Is the Ubuntu Manual <a href="http://ubuntu-manual.org/">http://ubuntu-manual.org/</a> too basic for you? <div class="gmail_quote">On 3 October 2012 15:21, Gordon Burgess-Parker <<a href="mailto:gbplinux@gmail.com" target="_blank">gbplinux@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> I'm a reasonable user of Ubuntu - both on my netbook and dual-booting with Windows 7 on my main laptop. I'm looking for a book on either Ubuntu or Linux in general in the "Windows inside out" type of format, i.e. from simple through to fairly technical, suitable for a general user - me! I'm slightly concerned about forking out £34 for the current Ubuntu 12.04 bible published by Sams as the interface could possibly change again in 14.04! Can anyone suggest a good general book, or should I buy a general Linux book and if so what would be the recommendations for that, or should I just look for on-line information, and if so where's the best place to look for the most topics in one place? (I do like big books!)
