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 still haven't got my sound to work yet, but that's another story. What I'm getting confused about is do you have to install a sound card for each type of user on the linux system?
Because I installed the sound drivers under root login, then when I go to log in as a normal user, modprobe gives me errors saying it can't find service-1-0, which is supposed to be for card #1 correct?
I would really be grateful if someone could clear this up for me.
Sorry if I wasn't clear before, but I installed the drivers under the root user (by logging in as root at login time) and modprobe went ok.
But when I login as a normal user, the dmesg log shows a message saying "modprobe: can't find service-1-0" or something similar. I'm not trying to modprobe anything under a normal user account, this is what the startup log is showing.
