Ubuntu Hacks is out!

My husband Kyle Rankin’s fourth book Ubuntu Hacks is out. He co-wrote it with several other people, including his boss Bill Childers.

Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux. According to Wikipedia, a rough translation of the African word Ubuntu means “humanity towards others,” or “I am because we are.” The Ubuntu distribtution wants to bring “the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.” I’m just glad it’s not Windows XP.
