The Linux Blog posted a nice review of Ubuntu Unleashed 2010, which I helped write. Thanks!
“Review of Ubuntu Unleashed 2010 edition on The Linux Blog”
I am a husband, father, reader, writer, researcher, occasional website designer and administrator, and all-around geek. I am also a musician who plays the guitar and the bass; I play in a local band and have played as a studio musician for other artists. I am an avid and voracious reader, speak several languages, have worked as an information consultant on topics including culture, language, religion and computers, and spent several years running a small business in North Africa.
This is where I write about stuff that a friend or acquaintance might find interesting; kind of like a Twitter feed, but with more than 140 characters per post. I also like to review books that publishers send me, and occasionally some that I buy; let me know if you have any suggestions.
You can email me at matthew AT matthewhelmke DOT com with any comments or questions.
You can also find me on Facebook, and occasionally hanging out on Google+ and Twitter. You will even find me on LinkedIn and on Amazon.com.
You’re welcome, I enjoyed it. I need to pick it up again to see if there is anything on getting Acrobat installed
Need to print a W2 from a stubborn web form.
Owen: I don’t think we cover that in the book, but you can install it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Click “Different Language or Operating System” and you will find they have a working .deb file you can download, making it quick and easy.
@matthew Yea, I got the deb but by the time I found the window (was ineffectively multitasking) the 60MB /tmp/ file had been deleted. Doh! I really just wanted an excuse to flip through the book again
