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 am new to Linux and need a little help. Everytime I try to boot, no matter what distro (slackware, redhat, mandrake, knoppix, college linux, yellowdog) it hangs on the command to set the system time from the hardware clock. Is there any way that I can bypass this attempt to set the system clock and boot without it?
When it 'hangs' try pressing the escape sequence "Ctrl" + "C"; it will probably end the running foreground binary and init will pass to the next scheduled application.
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH. I spent about 15 hours yesterday installing all kinds of different distros and trying to figure out if i had a hardware conflict... nothing checked out...
