Ubuntu Kung Fu: Tips, Tricks, Hints, and Hacks

Buy
This book was born out of an experiment carried out when Ubuntu 6.06 was released in 2006. Back then Ubuntu was rougher around the edges than it is today. Getting MP3 files to play took some effort. Only a handful of wifi cards worked out of the box and the rest had to be wrangled into working.

So I wrote 25 tips to get Ubuntu working the way I felt it should. I also looked at some cool things that could be done with Ubuntu—the kind of things that wowed people passing by your computer. Everything was kept simple because I knew a high proportion of Ubuntu users had switched from Windows, where things were done differently. Many of the tips were pulled from my award-winning book, Beginning Ubuntu Linux.

I put the tips on my website and then posted a link to the page on the Digg.com social networking website. Within hours it was in the top 10 links for that day. My site was actually knocked offline by the sheer volume of visitors.

The popularity of the tips was partly because Ubuntu has always been popular with the Digg.com crowd, but there was a more important reason. People wanted Ubuntu to "just work". They brought with them the expectations of Windows users. They didn’t want to make any compromises, either in terms of usability or function. And they wanted to learn how Ubuntu worked. They wanted that above all, in fact.

Ubuntu Kung Fu is for those people, and others like them. It’s an Ubuntu book for the rest of us.
