Apropos Linux Books...
In German there are many 'cheap' entry level books on Linux (and several
other subjects). They're not really good for advanced users, but *very* good
if you're trying to become one. :)
And that's because of this:
They show you some basic stuff, and along with doing what they tell you to
do, you learn to use the command line a bit. You learn about man-pages,
howtos and other useful helpfiles.
When I started using Linux as our primary server operating system, I bought
the O'Reilly books, which are *very* good - AND I bought a cheap book about
the installation of Red Hat, SuSE and Slackware - all in a 200 pages book.
You can read it while on the computer or on the train or something, and
after it you know a lot more than nothing. You learn how to learn. :)
