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.

Hey, I'm completely new to the linux world, but the lure of myth tv has become too much for me to stand. I've been building a freevo box for a while using myth-tv's how-to guide and I've got everything set up fine.
However, I want my box to be self contained - that is, no keyboard or mouse. However, this poses a problem when login into my Myth user.
Is there anyway I can have it log me into my Myth user automatically upon bootup without prompting me for a username and password?
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm running Fedora core 4.
Actually, I believe it depends on the display manager you use, the Ferora default DM, GDM (GNOME Display Manager) supports automatic logon whilst the KDM (KDE Display Manager) does not.
So, if you use an "out of the box" Fedora Core 4 system, you can do an auto logon. (As I recall, its an option the the "System" submenu.)
I presume that you will have access to a keyboard and mouse so you can configure your system before you go "display only."
