Re: [newbie] Books suggestion.
This is a list of resources that I've found. http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/LinuxResources I haven't tried all of them. Most recently, I refound the Mandrake 8.2 Reference Manual (http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/doc/82/en/ref.html/foreword.html) and it looks like it's worth a read. (It may not have worked for me as a rank newbie.) Randy Kramer On Tue, 02 Jul 2002 22:22:29 -0300 Filipe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Could you give me a little help answering the add below ???

Linux: The complete reference is good. It's from Osborne. It's based on Redhat7.0 and Caldera2.4. It's still got a lot of relevant information. HTH.
