Booting Ubuntu for the First Time

Abstract

Now that Ubuntu is installed, you’ll no doubt want to get started immediately, and that’s what Part 3 of this book is all about. In later chapters, we’ll present specific details of using Ubuntu and getting essential hardware up and running. We’ll also show you how to personalize the desktop so it works in a way that’s best for you on a day-to-day basis. But right now, the goal of this chapter is to get you doing the same things you did under Windows as quickly as possible.
