book recommendation?
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a decent overview-type Linux book that would describe things like:
- sequence of events when Linux starts up
- structure of the file system, everything's a file, /proc, /dev, /etc

I've looked at a few of the O'Reilly books but am not sure which one would be best. Maybe "Understanding the Linux Kernel"?

Any suggestions?

sequence of events when Linux starts up

from power up to bash prompt, its somewhere on tldp.org

structure of the file system, everything's a file, /proc, /dev, /etc

look at the fhs(google it)

both of those are more reference material rather than an introductory text, i would reccomend for an introduction to linux/unix the rute users guide by paul sheer(its in my bookmarks)
