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.

Many programmers who've done a degree of text processing within their programs would surely have come across regular expressions from time to time. Regular expressions, being a really powerful way to do pattern-matching in text, offers an extremely flexible technique of parsing text. However, they can be pretty daunting to new programmers. Regular expression syntax is not particular readable or easy to understand and the degree of complexity can vary from extremely simple to unimaginably complex.
KRegExpEditor is an extremely easy-to-use visual aid which helps programmers construct regular expressions and validate them with text patterns. It comes with the kdeutils package and is often hidden away in a submenu under utilities. This is also a great learning tool for programmers to get a fundamental idea about how reg exp works.
The one thing that is not too obvious to me (as I'm not an expert on regular expressions) is whether KRegExpEditor produces POSIX or Perl compatible regular expressions (I *think* it produces POSIX regular expressions though I'm not 100% sure).
