Whether you’re new to Ubuntu or not, it’s always nice to find new sources for tips and tricks.
Here are six helpful Ubuntu sites to do just that.
Check’em out:
OMG! Ubuntu!
Simple. OMG! Ubuntu! is an Ubuntu blog aimed at everyday Ubuntu users covering the latest OS developments, application updates, and releases alongside opinion pieces, interviews, polls and more. Founded in mid-2009, the site was created as a way of sharing the latest Ubuntu news, application development updates, information, tips and more with a mainstream, less-techy audience.
Ubuntu Geek
Ubuntu Geek might need a redesign, but what it loses in looks, it makes up in information! It’s full oftips, tricks, how-to’s, news and articles.
I started using ubuntu 7+ years and i want to share my experiences and some useful information to ubuntu lovers.I hope you will find useful to setup your ubuntu system.
UbuntuForums.org – Tutorials & Tips
It’s easy to overlook forums provided by the software. Google can make us lazy, sometimes. I’ve had to train myself to always check the WordPress Codex first. Ubuntu is no exception. One nice thing that the UbuntuForums does, is separates information based on current version, so you don’t spend so much time weeding through old versions.
UbuntuGuide.net
Again, this is another site packed full of tutorials and tips. Want to install Ubuntu on a Macbook Air? What are the things the “Super” key can do? This is the place. Also, this is a great place to find help with things like sluggish video and how to make Ubuntu more beautiful.
UNIX Men
Anything that looks like X-Men must be good, right? This is more of a general Lixux site, but you can find plenty of information dedicated to Ubuntu. There is also plenty of information on Linux software and gaming, too! Although, you many need to compile some downloads for the source. Check’em out!
WEB UPD8
WEB UPD8 is my favorite. It’s full of downloads, tutorials, Natty Dev, Gnome Shell and a whole section dedicated to Eye Candy. If you want daily Ubuntu and Linux news and application reviews, this is a great site.
I’m sure there are some great Ubuntu sites you visit that didn’t make the list, so be sure drop a link or two in the comments, so we can go check it out!

I have been using Ubuntu for a while, Google has been my #1 resource, if I needed to find anything about a command or a part of a config, I was able to find a great site (typically – one you’ve listed here) with a complete walk through.

I do the same with WordPress. Google usually brings the best answers to the top, but sometimes you have to dig a little deeper and search the specific site.
It’s great to hear from a Ubuntu user. If you have any sweet tweaks or Ubuntu awesomeness you would like to share, you should considering contributing.

I’ve been an off again, on again Ubuntu user for years – more so now at work where I’ve setup a multi-desktop three computer, three screen beast of a setup. (One of the desktops is running Ubuntu presently – but might add more if I can get my hands on a Vesa Wall mounts and more LCDs). Think of it as a really elaborate KVM, but I’m using my laptop in the center of the setup as the Keyboard and Mouse for all of the screens.
Occasionally I loose the mouse point among the screens… The next hack will be to load a triple boot setup on the laptop to run OSX, Ubuntu and Win7 64bit. I’m going to document that and might have a series of blog posts.

That would be intense!

Please understand that it’s going to be a hackintosh – which is a gray area among computer users… It’s not exactly legal as it’s breaking the EULA of the software that end users purchased, but are using the way they want to.
