The reason for installing Ubuntu Server was that a work colleague is
an avid Linux user - he suggested it, and I specifically want to
learn without the GUI. I'll persist with it at the moment, but bear
in mind your advice.
Hi Tony,
It's worth bearing in mind too that, just because you have a GUI
installed, it doesn't mean that you are obliged to use it.
The command line sits beneath it and is always available, regardless
of what is running on top.
However, good luck with your endeavours! I recommend O'Reilly's Linux
In A Nutshell and Linux Pocket Guide if you are determined to go the
CLI route; the former is very rich in content while the latter has
some nice little bite-sized chunks of information that will quickly
get you where you want to go.

Don't forget the 'man' pages from the command line. CTRL-x to exit
when you have read them, and at the foot of the techrepublic.com page is
a one page Linux quick reference page.
Cheers,
Peter
