Many people new to Linux begin by downloading and installing Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a huge fan base and many active contributors. If you have problems with Ubuntu, there are large, active forums where many people are willing to help you overcome problems.
If you already have an Ubuntu system installed, you can follow along with most of this book. You can get Ubuntu with a GNOME desktop, and its default dash shell is similar to bash (or you can switch to bash in Ubuntu to match the shell examples in this book). Although most of the examples of this book focus on Fedora and RHEL, I have added many more references to Ubuntu through out the book in this edition.
To get Ubuntu, you can download a Live ISO image or installation medium from the Download Ubuntu page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/downloaddesktop.
Figure A.2 shows an example of the Download Ubuntu Desktop page.
