handbook/ manual

[Guest]

Hi,
I just recently switched to Kubuntu from XP (I'm completely new to Linux) and I'm looking for a good handbook/reference manual. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks

Re: handbook/ manual

That's a good question.
You sorta gotta put it together, catch as catch can.

There's very good stuff at these:

K-Menu button (lower left of Desktop) > Help

On the Live Kubuntu CD, when you get to the Desktop, upper left corner: About Kubuntu.

Psychocats: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php
(it's mainly for Ubuntu, but much of it applies to Kubuntu)

Bigpond, home: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/
(also based on Ubuntu, but much of it is the same in Kubuntu)

Tuxfiles: http://www.tuxfiles.org/
(also good for commands at Konsole)

Here, this Kubuntu forum, under Documentation > How-To's.

Grab what you can from these:
Kubuntu.org: http://www.kubuntu.org/
Kubuntu Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu

Don't forget the obvious (google).

Books free on-line Linux books http://www.linux-books.us/linux_general.php

Switching to (K)ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu

Ubuntu Document Storage Facility (Welcome): http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Main_Page

And there are:

> Kubuntuguides

> Unofficial Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Starter Guide

> Unofficial Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Starter Guide

> Introduction - Unofficial Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Starter Guide

and there are Ubuntuguides.
