Ubuntu builds on a solid base of Debian Linux to make an award-winning operating system that’s light-years ahead of its competitors. Ubuntu consistently tops lists of the most well loved Linuxes amongst professionals and enthusiasts; Dell recently embraced Ubuntu in its product lines after a user survey indicated overwhelming public support.
Ubuntu Kung Fu provides hints, hacks, tweaks and tricks for every level of user. Guaranteed to be free of the usual dross that fills tips books, Ubuntu Kung Fu is written to be entertaining and, above all, readable. Its 300+ concise tips utilize and exploit hidden or lesser-known features to boost day-to-day productivity. You’ll also find tips on tweaking Ubuntu, wrangling the system into shape, optimizing, enhancing security, and lots more. Learn what extraordinary things can be done with Ubuntu.
Written with the migrating Windows or Mac OS X user in mind, Ubuntu Kung Fu avoids the usual Linux/Unix folklore that can send most of us to sleep. The tips have one aim–to produce results as quickly as possible, in an environment where the reader can polish their skills as they read. This is the Linux book for the rest of us.

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

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

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 brilliant 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 small-known facts presented for simple 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 certainly 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 small more fascinating.
If you use Ubuntu or Linux, this book is a excellent reference for so many facets of the OS. It’s fascinating and simple to follow along.
My experience with Linux goes back awhile, but I would never claim to be the guru of Linux. This book is excellent for noobs and those with more experience.
