The Incredible Guide to NEW Ubuntu (Karmic Koala)

[A Guy]

There are a lot of people still stuck with Windows because it’s the ‘easier alternative’. Linux is both cheaper and more versatile than Microsoft’s operating system, but the learning curve has frightened off many people.

In the past we published A Newbie’s Getting Started Guide to Linux, aimed at the making you familiar with the most basic Linux principles.

With the release of a new Ubuntu (Linux for human beings) distribution, Karmic Koala, we felt it was time to go back to the roots and beyond.

We teamed up with Guvnr.com to create the Ubuntu Karmic Koala Bible – a guide that’s both great for Linux initiates, and invariably useful for Linux intermediates. With over fifty pages of copy-paste tutorials, this guide belongs in the virtual library of every Linux user!

We’ll walk you through the installation process, meanwhile shedding some extra light on the partitioning process. Don’t know the value of a SWAP partition? Don’t worry, you will.

The guide is aimed, not only familiarizing you, but on making your Linux experience easier in general. Learn how to define command aliases, making the Command Line Shell easy to use!

Don’t waste any time, download the Ubuntu Karmic Koala Bible now in PDF, or read it online on Scribd!

Ubuntu is great but don't miss the caveat if you are going to use it as dual boot :
"Warning: Ubuntu Desktop edition installer no longer allows a custom installation of GRUB, and it now uses GRUB2, which allows very little customization. DO NOT USE the Karmic Koala Desktop edition if you use a boot partition, use multiple OS (more than 2), or chainload bootloaders. The Ubuntu installer will overwrite your Master Boot Record and you will later be forced to recreate it. This is a serious flaw in Karmic Koala. Use the Ubuntu Server edition instead (and then later add the ubuntu-desktop). "

When using Linux in virtualbox you use the virtualbox guest additions, when you install them with the appropriate .run file and reboot then the resolution can conform to the size of the window that the virtual session is in, and have the mouse seemlessly integrate into it etc. like with the windows ones.
