Ubuntu is a distro that is easy to obtain & install, but most of the hacksin this book can be applied to any GNU/Linux installation.

For example, there are solutions for the use of wireless devices, input-output devices, PDA,s (Palm or WindowsMobile), as well as sections on what to do if something goes wrong.

There is continuity between the chapters, which allows the user to learn gradually about "hacking" the system. It,s not just a "list of tips from A to Z".

There are chapters devoted to security & the use of multimedia no only reproducing multimedia elements, but also creating & editing them.

In short, if your problem has happened to someone, this book has the solution.
