More About This Book

Overview

The "Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop: Applications and Administration" covers the Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) release, focusing on applications and administrative tools. The emphasis here is on what users will face when using Ubuntu, covering topics like installation, applications, software management, the Ubuntu desktops (Unity and KDE), network connections, and system administration tasks. Ubuntu 12.04 introduces several new features, as well as numerous smaller modifications. The Ubuntu desktop with the Unity interface is examined in detail. Unity uses a Launcher and a Dash (dashboard) to manage access to applications and devices. It is also now based on GNOME 3, with several new desktop configuration tools and the System Settings dialog. In addition, changes to the messaging, user switcher, and desktop menus, as well as the Nautilus file manager, are covered.
The ebook version features color illustrations and hyper-linked overview, contents, index, chapters, sections, figures, tables, and Web sites.

    Unusable

    This book, though informative, is not readable as an e-book. There are screenshots and examples which are too small too read clearly and cannot be zoomed in on. Get a real paper version instead.
