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 a drive with three partitions, one of them being swap, and another already has Slackware installed. I would like to put Suse 8.2 on the other, however when I try to install, Suse says it wants to be on the first partition. Is there any way around this? or do I have to put Suse on the first partition and Slackware on the second?
Suse won't let you specify what partition you want to install it on? I haven't used Suse in a while but that seems very odd and not too 'Open Source' fashion. What is the error exactly? Have you tried installing another distro on the second partition?
I found it odd too. What I am doing is trying to do a web install, and when it asks if I want a new installation, upgrade, or fix installation, I pick "new", then try to choose my second partition. Yast then tells me it must be installed on partition number one. I have not tried installing any other distro on that second partition, though I have Redhat and Mandy handy (heh), so I could try that. All the partitions are primary partitions by the way.
