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 home premium windows 7 64bit, and have tryed to install linux mint within windows, and when its done and i reboot, it allways goes into windows 7...i did get it installed on vista...my thoughts are that linux mint has not installed a boot loader for windows 7, probably will be in the next release.....anyone boot linux mint with windows 7 here?
How you installed linux mint.
Do you have a live CD. Have you given different partition to linux mint or you have installed it inside windows.
with vista i installed inside windows...it will install on windows 7, just that when it boots, no selection which operating system to boot into...i am thinking windows 7 is just too new yet....but when i try some other method, it will say linux mint is installed, and i would have to uninstall it....but vista computer it went smooth
you may find that Mint does work, if you give Mint it's own partition to live in.
btw - it should also work ok, under the M$ O/S, using the windows installer. - mint4win.exe

I spent 1 hour googling the same problem and had to settle down with Mint 32 bit because I only wanted to use Mint4win to dual boot with Win 7 Pro.
Right click on Mint4win.exe and check the boxes that "compatibility mode with Vista SP1" and "run as administrator".
