This newbie's guide to Ubuntu lets readers learn by doing.
Step-by-step projects build upon earlier tutorial concepts
and increase the reader's understanding of topics such as
installing new software; Internet connectivity; working with
removable devices; and even handling DVDs and iPods. Average
desktop users are eased into the world of commands, thus
allowing them to work with script-based applications; converting
RPMs to DEB files; and compiling software from source.
Plus the *main context* that the Kde Klobber Klub don't want people
learning about:

How did I get to hear of this news-link? - From having taken the trouble
to meet GNU/Linux users outside of Klug, outside of K/Cant-erbury, and
outside of Noo Zealand.
Thank heavens for non-Windows-like operating systems.
