I'm looking for a book on either Ubuntu or Linux in general in

through to fairly technical, suitable for a general user - me!<br>
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!<br>
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</font><font

Thanks for the replies everyone - now a different question thrown up
by this.<br>
If I want to collect together a "library" of problems and solutions
and other resources from this and other mailing lists that I
subscribe to, the main one being Libre Office, what would be the
recommendations for the format and application that would be best to
store these in, with regard for easy searching and retrieval?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
