By the time you make it to the end of the Arch Beginners' Guide, you'll know more about Linux than the average user, I promise.
You will understand the basic concepts of: partitioning a drive, /etc folder config files, network configuration, package management, users and groups, sound, video, desktop environment, and so much more!
OK, with the Arch beginner's guide, wireless setup, WPA supplicant, and netcfg pages, I am connected to the internet, from the command line. Color me somewhat impressed with myself.
