Always a truck-load of eBooks online. RedHat has an entire CD worth (you can grab it free off their download sites) that'll get you started. Many other eBooks are online as well - just search for 'ebook linux'. They were giving away free eCopies of various Linux how-to-books years ago as I recall, so can't imagine why they're not around still. IBM Alphaworks? has a bunch of Linux tutorials online in PDF format for you to download. They were designed to take you from the start to becoming a certified Linux guy, and they're easy and short enough to read that you should pick up the basics pretty quick. And other than that? Preferably, Virtual PC/VMWare running Linux rather than the bare PC system running Linux if you're playing around with it and want to try everything -- this way, if you accidentally do something like format the entire HD, within Virtual PC, you'll have only damaged a 'virtual HD' and not wiped your real one! Great way to let you play and play until you're comfy with the system and know what you're doing. (same actually, goes for any OS and application you can run under Virtual PC or VMWare -- they let you play with new OSs and Software w/o worry about crashing your current PC setup -- highly recommended if you like to play with lots of software, review software, etc.) ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
