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.

Linux runs excellently on my laptop. No problems at all. Much faster than any version of Windows.
PS: I haven't yet been able to get 1024 X 768 resolution on my laptop.

I hate to 'burst your bubble', but screenshots from a laptop can be made to look exactly like screenshots from a desktop, and vice-versa. Same resolutions, same environments, etc. Now, if you want to post a picture of your computer, I can see that being of some relevance. Also notice that the 'Post your screenshot' thread is in General, people posting screenshots in this forum are not actually giving technical support, I feel that this is not worth a post count.
