Helpful Ubuntu Resources
Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Jun21

Here are some few resources that might be of great help to Ubuntu newbies.

If you like watching videos instead of reading manuals then the following sites are for you: Ubuntu Videos, Ubuntu Screencasts, and Ubuntu Clips. The goal of these sites is not only to introduce new users to Ubuntu but also to provide tutorials and other helpful tips through short videos.

If you are the type who likes to read (and probably print tutorials), then you should check out the following sites:

Ubuntu Questions and Answers
This site encourages new Ubuntu users to ask questions and find or provide answers rather than file bugs.

Free Online Ubuntu Linux Books
Titles include The Official Ubuntu Book, Moving to Ubuntu Linux, Ubuntu Unleashed, and Ubuntu Hacks.

The Ultimate Customization Guide
There are other customization guides, but I find this site to be one of the easiest to follow.

    I have a project that requires USB booting on a diskless Mini-PC (486, 386, Pentium 1 processors, 128 MB RAM,), and Moodle which needs AMP, and audio and video (and slideshow maybe?) playback. Is Ubuntu the best flavor for this?

    Jun, I think the best linux distros for that kind of spec are Slax (http://www.slax.org/) and Damn Small Linux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/). Damn Small Linux can even run on a 233 MHz laptop with 64 MB of RAM, as reported here: http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2007/06/the_15_laptop_and_damn_small_l.html.

    Fr. Bobby,
    Good day!
    Kumosta kana?

    I’m feeling at lost in the dessert and start questioning myself, ‘where do i go from here?’ I’m looking for an intimate happiness in life. I want to work as a volunteer or missionary, hoping that someone could help/guide me or you can enlighten me with some information to fullfil this call.
