Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

External USB soundcard - can work with plain usbaudio driver from ALSA, however Richard Cochran's OSS driver from http://www.cs.umass.edu/~cochran/ gives access to all of the soundcard's features apart from CMMS, including A52/AC3/Dolby Digital pass-through from Xine to make use of it's hardware decoder, and an LIRC plugin to use the remote control (allows you to control many LIRC-compatabile programs such as Xine, and to even use the remote control as a mouse with lircmd)
Would you recommend the product? yes | Price you paid? (in USD): $20.00 | Rating: 7
Kernel (uname -r):
2.4/ 2.6
Distribution:
RH9, FC1/FC2
Now that OSS is obsolte, ALSA provides compiled-in support under kernel 2.6. I have gotten this working under RH9, FC1/2, and Gentoo. Sounds pretty good on a pIV, sounds pretty shitty under pII.
