I would recommend any book by Marcel Gagne on Linux -
'Moving to Linux' is a goody, and there are several others, from
beginners to system administrators. See Amazon ...
Marcel writes a column in Linux Journal magazine - I've subscribed
for years ... He lives in Mississauga, and has a unique writing style !
D/L & burn a CD - better still, the DVD (lots more software) -
of Knoppix. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
It's a live DVD that you can boot into, & run Knoppix
without touching your hard drive ! If you want to
install it on the disk, it's a one line command as root ..
# knoppix-installer <enter>
& follow the sequence of questions - automatic !
Been using Knoppix for years - seems to be the best
of a bunch of live versions.
