Ubuntu guide worth the download

This book, Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference by Keir Thomas, is a free download or low-cost print job. I find that it makes much more sense than most references.

Although a lot of it is about GUI and we don't have GUI in the lab, remember that you can install Ubuntu Linux on your home machine essentially risk-free and easily with Wubi. Then you'll have both the GUI and the command line to work with. Chapter 5 of this book is a sane reference to the command line without the usual fire-hose effect.
