[QUOTE="ludo, post: 109511, member: 691"] @F_D The page at www.tldp.org/guides.html refers to [i]Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide[/i] by Machtelt Garrels. This looks like a fresher version of an older book by Matt Welsh ([i]Linux Installation and Getting Started[/i], also from the LDP) that I started out with. The older book would be a bit confusing now in places, such as recommending a minimum of 4 Meg but 16 Meg of RAM and an accelerated VGA card for really good performance. Hey, it worked for me back then. It's probably not the most entertaining book you'll ever read, but looking at the index, it seems like it will give you all the basics you're after. True to form, like all good things, it's free. [/QUOTE]
