The Ubuntu Desktop Beginner’s Guide

This book is a bit of an experiment. Previously, all my computer books have revolved around command-line topics, which kept the cost down, since I needed to take minimal screenshots.

This new book, though, is entirely about the graphical interface in Ubuntu Linux, so it has just under a hundred screenshots illustrating various procedures. I’m not entirely sure if there’s actually a market for a book aimed at people completely new to Ubuntu (who also have no desire to learn the command line), but it was worth a shot. Especially since the next version of Ubuntu comes out in October.

Anyway, if you’re curious (and want a primer on Ubuntu), you can get it at Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. I’ll do a Smashwords version eventually, but there’s a hundred screenshots to arrange, and frankly I would rather keep working on GHOST IN THE STONE. If it does well enough on Amazon, I’ll eventually do a Smashwords version.
