Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have only just installed ubutu and looking around some forums there seems to be some difficulty setting this up.
I have set up twin monitors using A nvidia 6oo graphics card and it is just a case of configuring server display settings .
I make notes as I go along and if anybody is having dificulty please ask for details.
There must be tons of threads on nVidia and multiple monitors. Search for them, either in relevant forums (i.e. this forum, or perhaps a forum dedicated to Ubuntu, such as ubuntuforums) or using google.com/linux.
I'd just use nVida, twinview and howto as search terms, perhaps ubuntu as well, and you're bound to come up with loads of useful threads, walk-through and howto's.
Other than that, any question needs to be more specific in other to generate a useful reply.
Indy- two monitors on Ubuntu- can it be done while also running Compiz Fusion?
Yeah, I don't do enhanced desktop effects, but I've done them just to show them off. Groudcaptain is right, if you have the restricted driver enbabled for Nvidia, just go to a terminal and type gksudo nvidia-settings Once you enable the second monitor, set resolutions, etc, choose "Save to xorg file" or something like that.. I'm not at my PC at the moment.
