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 added the alias ls='ls -F' to my .bashrc file to take away the coloring of dir, files, etc, but for some reason it only works when i ssh to my box. I'd really like to turn off the coloring and just use the "-F" switch when doing an "ls"
that might work on slackware but its not working on RH9 don't know what the deal is at this point. i'm kind of tired of having to do alias ls='ls -F' everytime i open up a new shell oh well, guess i'll puts around a bit more
ok problem is only half-way solved. if i open a new terminal i still have to do source .bash_profile which pretty much leaves in the the same place, i have to take the extra step to enable my alias.
