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 normally use apt-get to get my package updates, but recently wanted to get the kernel updates from RH. Up2date downloads the update but then claims the key is bad and the package is corrupt? Anyone else having this problem? All I want is to get a working kernel over 2.4.19 as that was when ACPI support was introduced. Linux will not be of much use to me on this laptop without the ability to measure the battery. I really want this to work. Does anyone have an HP laptop that they had to do something to to get APM working??
Redhat has not released a 2.4.19 kernel yet they are still revising 2.4.18 they are on the 27th revision kernel-2.4.18-27-8.0.rpm Also I would recommend using a app called Grab for updateing and automatic updateing it is very very kool. It works alot like apt, but you can use regular ftp mirrors.
Actually I ended up installing RH 8.1 beta as it uses the 2.4.20 kernel w/ ACPI support. I am trying to get apt-working again but I seem to be missing some depends.
I ran into the same problem when I tried to download the new kernel a while ago. It seems that when RHN has high traffic the packages can tend to become corrupt for reasons that are beyond me. Persistence on this issue will pay off.
