I've found Running Linux - 3rd Edition, Linux in a Nutshell - 2nd Edition, &
Linux Network Administrators Guide by O'Reilly to be pretty good however I
would stay away from Linux in a Nutshell for a while - VERY in-depth but
generally way over my head for a newbie/novice. There is another book out
there but the name escapes me at the present but it is a great general linux
how-to book, it's about 3 inches thick by 5 in. by 7 in. with an reddish/orange
cover and runs about $13-U.S. It seems to be merly a reprint of most of the
"net published" linux how-to's (or a redirect thereof) but it does a wonderful
job of cross indexing topics and subjects.
Good luck,

No windows, no gates.
