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.

Ubuntu doesn't allow to be logged in by root through GUI, though you can log in through terminal using sudo -s
thanks anishakaul using that command am entered into root and ineed one more help how am downgrade my firefox 3.6 to 3.5.....
The way I prefer doing this is
1. Remove current Firefox through Synaptic package manager.
2. Re-install the desired version manually, as shown in my blog.
But this is what I do,,you are free to prefer some other way.
I'm glad you solved your issues. As an aside; please read the forum rules. Avoid crossing threads with multiple unrelated issues. This thread went from Firefox installation on Red Hat, to downgrading Firefox on Ubuntu.
The idea is to make threads reusable to other users.
