Okay, I have a stack of books that reaches about 8 ft high. I think I have
spent over $1000 on books in the last four years. There, I did not say,
"Get a book!" Oops, I just said it. Ok, since I said it, here's some
recommendations:
Running Linux by Welsh and Kaufman
Understanding Unix by Harley Hahn
Come to the install fest. You can learn a lot by watching.

Unfortunately, I was brought up in the DOS and Windows world and have very little, and I mean little, Linux or Unix experience. I have purchased a couple of books on Linux, but they are written for people who can actually "maneuver" around. It took me several days just to figure out that I needed the CSH shell to get things to even run. BOOKS SUCK!!!!!
csh sucks. i use it at work. bash is way better.
