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.

Yea, the American English users tend to slide into a Mandrival, Mangina, Mandriver cognate session. It's a piss poor name, but luckily you have choices beyond Mandriva if you so choose.
http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/ftp.php3 - it seems that you can still download without having to join the Club, as you ever could. Urpmi should still work and I'd guess that the EasyUrpmi sites will still operate.
And if you look, you will see that the Official Edition is the same, whether you download the free version, or buy the 4-CD set. They are identical, minus a few proprietary apps that you can download and install yourself, anyway. Heck, by setting up and using your urpmi repositories correctly, the download version is the same as the Powerpack (6-CD) version!
To be honest, I find the perfpomance of 10.1 Download Commercial Edition, upgraded via urpmi to 10.1 Official Edition, works better for me than the 10.1 OE Powerpack that I have.
