   From description, sounded like there would be a little more linux education. Mostly, it was just tweaking around with Ubuntu’s bells and whistles.

   If you are new to computers, this is a good read. However, even Linux newbies who have used Macs or windows will not find much here that they aren’t already familiar with.

   Taught me things about Ubuntu that I never knew. I now run Ubuntu as a primary operating system thanks to Kier Thomas

   Let me first level-set on my Linux experience and skills….. I am a relative beginner to Ubuntu. I’ve been using it for about 18 months and I’m on the third version since I started. I am a Windows Sys Admin by profession, but Ubuntu is what I use at home and outside of work.

   The first thing I should say about “Ubuntu Kung Fu”, is that it really was a pleasant surprise. This book is loaded with tips, tricks and hacks. While I read it cover to cover, you don’t have to – it is an excellent collection of practical tips and is going on my desk for future reference. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Ubuntu user, there are 315 very useful, well detailed shortcuts, hacks and little-known facts presented for easy reading.

   I dog-eared many pages and have already implemented a few, and they worked just as described! Many have been marked for use on my next Ubuntu install. I definitely recommend this book – there is value for users at all levels. The author’s style is light, thoughtful and well researched. I highly recommend “Ubuntu Kung Fu” for anyone interested in wanting to get more out of Ubuntu and their computer.

   I bought this book to try and get more information that isn’t commonly known. I found alot of tips and hints that make Ubuntu, and Linux, a little more interesting.

   If you use Ubuntu or Linux, this book is a good reference for so many facets of the OS. It’s interesting and easy to follow along.

   My experience with Linux goes back awhile, but I would never claim to be the guru of Linux. This book is good for noobs and those with more experience.
