Speaking of good books... "Unix System V: A Practical Guide" (Mark G. Sobell) I got it from the University bookshop 6 or 7 years ago, and would've been completely lost without it. Maybe they're still selling it there. I guess there's a chance it's in the library, too. It's reviewed at amazon.com. There's also "A Practical Guide to Linux", by the same author. I haven't read it, but I'm sure it's worth checking out. Again, it's reviewed at amazon. A very good free book: "The Linux Cookbook" (Michael Stutz) read online: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/linuxcookbook/html/index.html download (scroll down the page to find it): http://www.tldp.org/guides.html Debian: apt-get install linuxcookbook The author's homepage links to publishers of printed editions: http://www.dsl.org/ Tim -- Timothy Musson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/ . . . . . . .
