Meh... online stuff ;-)

There are some great websites and forums and lists (like this one)
that can get you going.  However, if you're a bit old-school, as I am,
you also prefer that warm feeling and heft of a good book ;-)

Ubuntu For Non-Geeks, Third Edition
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781593271800/

Ubuntu: Up and Running
A Power User's Desktop Guide (Est. release date, April 2010)
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596804855/

Now, caveat this by saying I have not read these, however, I have a
long love-affair with O'Reilly books when it comes to technical books.
 For me, they've always seemed very well written and make for great
reference material.

Cheers,

Jeff
