Is there a tutorial for ubuntu - hardy heron?

mopepom · 07-26-2008, 07:48 AM

My main operating environment is Windows XP. I have recently set up Sun's VirtualBox with a Ubuntu Hardy Heron distribution. It seems to work extremely well.

My problem is that I don't want to go back to square one to learn my way around the strange new Linux land. What i am looking for is a tutorial that I can access on my Windows XP notebook computer, which is right beside my Windows XP + VirtualBox/ Ubuntu machine.

This way I could do the tutorial exercises on the VirtualBox/Ubuntu, following along the instructions that I can read on my XP notebook screen.

I have to get away from the "either Windows OR Linux" dichotomy. I want to do "Windows AND Linux"

Any ideas?

Welcome to Linux!!!!
I would recommend that you check out these two sites 8.04, and Communitiy Docs. These are two very good resources for beginners, especially to ubuntu.

I hope this is something that you are looking to for. If there is something specific that you need I am sure the we can find some resources for you.

Cheers!
