Review: The Official Ubuntu Book, Third Edition

You have no idea what it takes to get an advanced copy of a book…particularly a book on a popular subject. I hope you’ll all still be interested in my review of ‘The Official Ubuntu Book, Third Edition’. Let me explain. A few months ago, I could hardly swing a cat (no, not literally) without hitting someone talking about Ubuntu 8.04, the Hardy Heron. All of the Linux news sites were just ‘abuzz’ with Hardy Heron this and Hardy Heron that. It was as if the entire Linux world (and sometimes beyond) really couldn’t get enough of this long-awaited, latest version of Ubuntu. I figured that any book published about Hardy Heron within a month or so if its official release would be able to name its own price.
