I like the manual which ships with SuSE 5.3 because it seems split into
the parts I can digest the easiest and I also like a "Practical Guide
to Linux" by Sobell. Sobell's book is not oriented toward any
particular brand of linux and it is written in a way that I can read
and take away.
To get an idea about applications across the spectrum, take a look at
the Linux Utilities and Applications Page at:
http://www.xnet.com/~blatura/linux.shmtl
This is one of those pages you bookmark and come back to often.
Take care and have fun!!
