As some of you know, my school rolled out a 1:1 program using ASUS Eee NetbooksrunningUbuntu. Our students have quickly figured out how to use Ubuntu. Some of the faculty, however, have not adopted Ubuntu as quickly as the students. This morning I discovered a free ebook that I will be sure to share with my colleagues. Keir Thomas’Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Referenceis available in print form from Amazon or as a free PDF download here and here.

For the teachers in my school, chapters two and three are all they will probably ever need to read. If you are looking to install Ubuntu on your personal computer, Ubuntu Pocket Guide and Reference will provide you with everything you need to know to get started.
