Linux Books

Of course the Internet along with the help of Google is a great source of information. You can answer almost any question you have about Linux and find many tutorials, guides and help. However many people prefer reading this information on a printed book accesssible even when they are not online or don't have a computer in front of them. I've received many e-mails asking me to propose them a few good books regarding Linux commands, administration and for specific distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora etc. So, I've searched for a few good books. Here they are. Happy reading!

In Chrome for Android the "home" key takes you to the home Android screen. Extremely annoying when trying to browse. Seems nobody did a usability test on the Android tablet prior to marketing.

Ron this is the default behavior of the home button for all android devices and applications. I don't have a problem with that on my Android phone. However I understand that this can be annoying for someone.
