Hello I agree with the excellent book, Running Linux, which is action - packed and ultra complete, as well as easy to read etc.
As you get into Linux and complete the above task, take as minute to look at the "Linux Cookbook". Perhaps this is not a noo-be book, as you get started in your quest to learn Linux, and start to formulate questions about this or that, the Cook book gets more specific on answering questions and you can look up something quite quickly in this book. paulc >From: Sam Folk-Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: Tue Jun 28 07:11:54 CDT 2005 >To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [TriLUG] Book recommendations >I think the best book ever when you are first learning linux is >Running Linux.
