Ubuntu means �humanity to others.� For the people who use and bring you Ubuntu Linux, this is not just a name with touchy-feely overtones. The special sauce in Ubuntu is a social and business commitment to Ubuntu users everywhere. Ubuntu releases occur regularly, every six months, and support and updates for any Ubuntu release are available for a minimum of eighteen months after that. More about that it in the first chapter, where you�ll read more about Ubuntu, its philosophy, its community, and why the sum of those makes Ubuntu different than any other Linux distribution.

In a nutshell, Ubuntu is a Linux distribution for people. While reading this book, you�ll see that there are plenty of excellent technical reasons for using Ubuntu, even if you�re a hard-core Linux propeller head. However, that�s not the point of Ubuntu�Ubuntu is for people who want to use their computers and need a solid software foundation for doing so. Whether your focus is on writing code or surfing the Web, sending and receiving electronic mail, working with your digital photographs, watching DVDs, listening to music, and so on, Ubuntu offers the software that you need to do what you want to do.

If you�re already using Ubuntu, this book should be equally useful to you because it explains how to use the standard applications provided with Ubuntu, how to do common system configuration and system administration tasks, and so on. If you�re already using Ubuntu on your desktop and do more with it, this book clearly explains how to install common servers for file-sharing, electronic mail handling, Web servers, and much more.
