I found this torrent on demonoid yesterday & thought it may help any other reletively new converts to Ubuntu.

It's a nice compilation of pdf files & .chm (help files) from total novice to pretty experienced user.

There's ...
Ubuntu. Beginners to Pro's
Ubuntu Unleashed
Ubuntu Hacks
Ubuntu Official

& a selction of Ubuntu wallpapers.

I've not had time to go through the whole thing but it's a very comprehensive read & what little i have read has answered some questions i had.

Sadly i've only found it on Demonoid so far, so it may be tricky if you haven't joined or been invited (& no i'm out of invites), but i am seeding slowly so it shouldbe on the other trackers soon.

The Demonoid torrent is HERE

i got the beginner to pro 1 a few weeks back from a torrent site i use, reading away still but i'm on my 2nd week of ubuntu linux OS only pc now and the ebook really does help out




nice spot btw Gnu Boy.

A wealth of info etc but i have discovered one slight problem...

The windows help files....fine if you're running windows...but if i want to know something about linux, it's usually while i'm on that machine...but i can't view windows help files in linux!

no worries with the .pdf files, but does anyone know if there is such a thing as a windows help file viewer for ubuntu?

Yes, there is - it's called GnoCHM - just type 'sudo apt-get install gnochm', and (if you've enabled 'universe' etc in your repositories etc.) it's automagically install for ya.

Hope that helps.

Cheers , they will come in handy. This is my 3rd week with linux and I still don't miss micro$hite.

Heres another read for ubuntu newbies Moving to ubuntu

Ubuntu rocks - and if you *still* need to use M$ for any games, or any other specific apps, or whatever, you can always dual-boot, or even better, use a Virtual Machine, like VMWare. Or to run quite a few Window$ games, you can run Cedega or somesuch on top of your Linux.

ahhh don't you love hte smell of open source in the morning

bye bye billy bye bye
