Some really interesting document?

Hi. I would like to learn how to use Linux, configure programs, compile Kernel etc. I tried some manuals, but some of them are so schematic and don't give me explanations (like *to do this type this*); some instead are for experts, and I can't understand a word... Do you know any manuals that can introduce me into Linux world thoroughly starting from basics?

Thank you

Nik

The problem with printed books here is that they quickly go out of date. Sams Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed was a good book, but it's now so out of date that it's not really worth considering.

http://www.tldp.org/guides.html has a few to recommend; you might for instance try “Introduction to Linux — a Hand's on Guide” [2004] linked to on that page.

Try Rute, an online book (that doesn't work for IE, which is a complete pain when I'm at work)
