        REDHAT LINUX 6.0 UNLEASHED

This book was initially recommended to me by GNHLUG member James R. Twine
and not only covers the basics of Linux, but also has a chapters dedicated
to  C/C++, PERL, PYTHON and some other code languages that you could
(theoretically) use to move evolve from a user and into a kernel hacker.  I
find it much easier to use than the QUE book, SPECIAL EDITION USING LINUX.

Of course you should also take a look at the LINUX DOCUMENTATION PROJECT for
help.  I printed out the book REDHAT LINUX 6.0 THE OFFICIAL RED HAT LINUX
GETTING STARTED GUIDE and found that it fairly concisely told me how to
create and administer user accounts, file permissions, etc.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know a good book to get someone started in Linux?  I have only
light network admin experience in an NT environment.  Where do I begin?  Is
there a dummies book or a better equivalent?
