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 would suggest getting a router. Nothing fancy like a cisco or anything like that. There are some really cheap routers out there and they do the job of home networking very well. Its also nice to have that extra level of security that a router offers. You could also buy another nic card and do it that way but by the time you set all that up you'd realize it was easier to buy a cheap router.
If I buy a router, would I need a seperate phone line to connect to the internet, or could I share (piggyback) on the main internet connection for computer 1? Is it possible for two machines to surf the internet (56k) simultaneously or is this only possible with High speed access.
