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.

Hi. I have a question regarding Skype in Ubuntu. Right now I have version 4.3.0.37.
Yes, that is the version I have. That is the latest version available for Linux. What hugging teddybear? My Skype boots directly into my contact list. I have it set to log me on automatically when I start it up. Version 4.3.0.37 does the job and I can't imagine why I would want a more "monetized" version.

You mean that when you switch your computer on, it connects to the internet and
immediately sends a list of all contacts to Microsoft (and probably most government "agencies").
Microsoft will sell your list of presumably "high quality" contacts to the highest bidder.
The older versions of Skype hadn't yet been fully integrated into the monolith.

Nope, when I switch my computer on, skype is not running. I only run skype when I wish to make a call or am scheduled to receive one. I am sure that my skype contacts were sent to M$, GCHQ, MI5, etc. long ago.
