This book is great and if you can't install Unbuntu yourself; go and buy the book. But here is what I did:
I wanted to migrate away from Windows.
I am sorta tech savvy - I know the different parts of a computer, I can trouble shoot some basic problems, and I can type "getting your printer to work in ubuntu' into google.
My point is, instead of paying 40 dollars for a book, here is what you do:
Once Ubuntu was installed... it just worked wonderfully. I sometimes forget I'm not using windows and any non GPL software. The install went like this: insert CD, boot off cd, go through install process, Ubuntu won't start up, switch to boot of IDE-0 in bios - Everything is perfect
I don't like computers particularly, I'm not a poweruser or a nerd, and I don't really game. Ubuntu provides me near full functionality for what I need - more than windows ever did.
CentOS provides other options too, but why use Windows if you don't have to?
I feel like such a subversive.
So do what works for you.
Wikipedia says the following about trolls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
"The term troll is highly subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial."
While you may not percieve what I said as funny. I was sincere in what I said... Well not about the use Ubuntu part.
I guess the only valid reason for Microsoft to continue the development of IE is for:
1. Branding purposes.
2. And so that they can claim Windows is a totally integrated package.
I think of Linux movement as more like the womans liberation movement or the civil rights movement. Who should have to pay 200 dollars to a company to start a business when they can just use Ubuntu or CentOS?
And everyone is under this spell.. "I must give Microsoft money to be successful."
Its like, "I must wear a bra and shave my pits to get a husband."
Or....
It's simply not true.
This is cool. Google will really all people to be more free, unless they are trying to take over the world.
I just applied, and asked them to reconsider my adsense application. I have no idea why my adsense was rejected. I think I'm too nutty. We'll see what they say.
Let me be the first (or not) to say congrats to the dev team. I am sure this will make it easier to connect people, make money, and functionality online.
That United States spam laws are working really well. I was going to say why bash on the ISP's and just have tough criminal/civil penalties. I seldom get spam I have to sort through.

With Ford in GM where they are, it doesn't seem unrealistic to think that IBM, Microsoft, and perhaps Intel being next.
Didn't they say no one could ever need any more than like 256kb of memory? No one can dispute that can they?
Opinions vary.
As the quote goes... One man's funny is another man's flamebait.
With enough practice you could land a bombshell if you wanted to.
Overrated by who? Myself?
It's a sincere question, and the second statement is true. If truth and sincerity are flaimbait, then that is too bad.
I would encourage you mods to look at the times of the posts and see which was redundant.
I bet new measures would drop it below 20% at least, maybe 18%.
Don't you little pirates feel powerful? You did this.
i found this hella insightful.

My point is, instead of paying 40 dollars for a book, here is what you do:
1.Go download the Ubuntu ISO

2.Go get some burning software, I had to download a few free ones off downloads.com to find that actually worked burning isos as they claimed to, but you probably have some installed, I'm sure.

I installed slackware a few years ago and my friend spent like 5 hours helping me configure it to get everything to work and it still gave me problems.
It was a pain, or else one of us just overcomplicated it.

I also installed automatix, and Auto Packages

Do they mean psychological problems?
Yeah, it sucks when the girl gains control, I know.

Why doesn't Microsoft just tell people to switch to Ubuntu and use Firefox? It would save them a hassle and a lot of work.
Okay, who will sponsor my attendance?

You're using labels to create stereotypes that limit your perception and you don't even know it.
Yeah, why?
Its all about class and swagger.

On the other hand these stats are interesting:

They tell me a few things.
1. Don't use citibank.
2. We're not doing as well as it seems to me
