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 did this, but now whenever I boot up without GDM, I see "Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid". What is going on? I am somewhat new to using repositories, so let me know if you see anything wrong with what I have above.
lenny/sid just means that you have at least one application installed that you got from Sid (Unstable)
It means that they changed from etch/sid to lenny/sid in the base-files package it has nothing to do with running packages from sid it is only the new naming scheme.
Code:
base-files (4.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed issue, issue.net and debian_version to read "lenny/sid".
* Changed FAQ accordingly.

Thanks. I always remember Etch being known as "Etch" when I logged on, not "Etch/Sid", which confused me. I guess that Lenny is still in development.
