Ubuntu

[postboy]

Recently downloaded latest version of Ubuntu on my acer one notebook.
Would like to learn more about this OS, find it very different from previous Windows
installations.Can anyone suggest any books, videos or downloads that may help?

A good place to start is on the Ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/

I suggest starting with the Absolute Beginner Talk sub forum

And if you didn't mean an installation gude .. more a book about how to get going, AFAIK there's nothing available for 12.04 yet, but the 11.10 "Getting Started" guide is avalilable in .pdf or online here:
http://ubuntu-manual.org/downloads
99.9% of that will translate to 12.04

other links to material that *may* come in handy can be found here:
