Hi,
The last six months, I've been busy writing "Linux aux petits oignons", a general introduction to GNU/Linux. The book is aimed at the beginner (or intermediate) reader, though :
1) it's *not* based on Ubuntu, but on CentOS 5.3 2) it doesn't shy away from explaining basic UNIX concepts 3) it favours the use of simple command-line tools
Here's the editor's page :

And here's the book on Amazon :
http://www.amazon.fr/Linux-Petits-Oignons-Apr%C3%A8s-Windows/dp/2212124244
It's 550 pages thick, but you can (almost) read it like a novel.
Enjoy !
Niki
PS : for those who wonder, "Kiki Novak" is my pen name.

Congratulations! (I have a shorter novel, due out on amazon in the next few days, but it's the first of five in a fantasy-adventure epic - about as OT as I could get for this list! :-)

Youch! I've written two novels that are that big (give or take), so I have an idea how much work you put into it, but - Wow!
That's a lot to digest, even if it's written to be "fun" to read, a la the "...for Dummies" books.... (For the record, anyone who needs to read the Internet for Dummies should never be allowed on it - speaking from a purely hypothetical perspective, of course, since I've never even looked at it. ;^)
When's it coming out in English? :-)
Good luck! (Or would that be, 'break a pen?')
