There is a ton of real good information right on the system and its written

_Running Linux_ by Matt Welsh (and another?) fro
Running Linux by Matt Welsh/et al from O'Reilly. If you did a poll I
believe that this book would be the most recommended. It's available at
most book stores, such as Barnes & Noble, and of course from on line

"Using Linux" from QUE is good, and I also have "Linux Complete" from SYBEX
printed in 1999 it has great Networking/IPChain's info...and a summary of
command-line commands, as well as alot of other useful setup info. All for
$20.00 US or less, also check the bargain bin's for slightly older books
gives you an easy start.
You should give "Linux for Dummies" or "Unix for Dummies" a try.

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a few good startup Linux books ? There are too many
out there now to start sampling. Any help would be appreciated.

Over the past few days I have read some posts concerning what books to
