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.

I have firefox 1.0.6, but I downloaded the .deb for 1.0.7 and can install it through dpkg. What I want to know is, will there be any incompatibilities between the firefox for apt-get and dpkg. Is it okay to do this?
i think apt-get is a front-end to dpkg. Almost everybody mix it, because what do you do if the package you need isn't in a debian repository :-)
I downloaded a deb of firefox 1.0.6 when i had 1.0.X. I had to install other packages(new dependencies) but it wasn't lots of hassles apt-get'ing it or getting them from unstable repositories.
