In browsing through the Absolute Beginner Talk section of the Ubuntu forums, I have been exposed to even more of our brave new world as a result of a decision to dig into the wonderful world of LAMP servers.
No wonder everyone expects everything to be free online. In addition to the Ubuntu (a flavor of UNIX) operating system being available just for basically the cost of bandwidth, an ambitious fellow named Keir Thomas has written a nifty pocket guide to the OS, available for free, of course. In glancing through the PDF version, I do see that he has placed it in the copyright realm (the book, not the OS) and has a plug in there to encourage donations or to buy the physical book. It would be interesting to see how many people actually do pay at least something to the author for what was undoubtedly a lot of hard work based on even more hard work and experience. The URL to download the pocket guide is: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/.
