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.

Sorry about this question and how newbieish it is but i need to know so i can find the directory for skins of XMMS so i can put some of my winamp skins in there.
Thanx for the feedback
That was very helpful man
cheers
also had a look on the man pages cos there was no Sknins folder in the share/xmms folder so i created it myself and put my skins in there and they work.
XMMS supports WinAmp style skins. Skins may be stored in either archived (.zip, .wsz, .tgz, .tar.gz, or .tar.bz2) or unarchived format. XMMS looks for skinfiles in ${prefix}/share/xmms/Skins, ~/.xmms/Skins, and locations specified by the SKINSDIR variable.
So you can either drop them in a suitable subdirectory in your home, or figure out the prefix used to install it. Probably /usr, possibly /usr/local
The "rpm" command can give you a listing of all the files installed by a package, I can't remember the syntax, its been over a year since I last used rpm.
