Ubuntu Advanced Learning Material

[subchief]

Hey Guys, am an ubuntu user...am not very new to ubuntu as i have been trying it out since as early as ubuntu 8.04. However, i have decided to take up ubuntu as my main and only operating system!!!This is an informed decision as i have come to appreciate the numerous advantages ubuntu has over windows.However, i lack a source of material about ubuntu.
If anyone has any pdf's about ubuntu or any helpful advanced links...and not the basic howto's, please pass them on to me and i will be grateful!!
Thank u!!!

is this what your looking for ?

http://library.gnome.org/users/user-.../nautilus.html

the "desktop user guide" i believe is installed by default

yet another thought

navigate to filesystem/user/share/doc and see what docs you have

I think he is looking for papers from dennis ritche , ken thompson, and rob pike; inventors of unix and its successor plan9.

Ouch how far are you going to look, since operating system design is a large topic. I can rant on how plan9 solve many of today problems with operating system and why andrew Tanenbaum is an idoit for saying pure microkernels are the future.

http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/ here some plan 9 docs. It will give you a better idea how those does made unix

Thanks but the thread is helpful for beginner stuff...like how to open and save files or how install programs and such like details!

Am looking to understand how ubuntu runs, how it manages files, how the file system is structured etc...if you can direct me in that way i shall be a happy lad!!!

Thanks though!!
