I'll throw in my 2c + 10% here: "Running Linux" is great for a running
start at the O/S. It covers almost every major topic. From the TOC:
introduction to L
installation
unix commands
sys mgmt
file systems
kernels
admin tastks
editors/tools/graphics/printingX-Window
Windows/Samba
programming + tools
TCP/IP + PPP
web/email
sources
L on alpha/powerpc/motorola/sparc
lilo
and zmodem
(phew) and at apporx 720 pp (1999 edition) it ain't a lightweight.
The book is great for an overview of anything Linux
and provides references for further research and other
resources.
