Thanks for telling me about linuxcommand.org that is a definite bookmark. I was wondering... I've found a lot of older books on Linux in the public library, many published any where from 1999 to 2006 (anything newer is hard to get a hold of). Older books on Linux, would you say they are still worth the read? Technology changes so fast I know a lot of the information in these books must be way outdated. But do the basic always remain the same?
