which pocket book did you buy?
I only ask since the book I recommend is also a pocket-sized book.
Anyway, I recommend "Linux Phrasebook" by Scott Granneman
www.amazon.com/.../0672328380
This book is awesome, and even though I've been using linux for close
to 8 years, I still have not outgrown this book. It's not specific to Ubuntu or
any other Linux distro.
