Various advanced tasks are also covered in this book, such as the Ubuntu file system structure, an introduction to the Linux terminal, various methods for securing your system, managing users and groups, encrypt your data, and much more. It is distributed under an open source license and designed as a first point of reference to any Ubuntu newcomer, all in a single and easy to access PDF file. It is well written and easy to follow, featuring a professional style, detailed, but not overwhelming. The Ubuntu Manual is revised every six months to keep up to date with each new Ubuntu release.
