If you don't mind me mentioning a book, the book "Unix Power Tools" from O'Reilly is very useful. The title's a bit misleading as the main focus is not the free power-tool software on the CD but rather it is a bunch of many very interesting tips and tricks culled from O'Reilly experts and online Usenet newsgroups. (Back when Usenet was a great place to find information.) These tips and tricks apply to Linux since Linux is a Unix clone, and it mentions Linux equivalents every now and then when needed. Also this book is unique in that it has constant cross references to related information, a bit like a print version of a web-page. Another thing you'll want to know more about in Linux is Perl; O'Reilly's books are the best on that subject too. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
