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.

Dual booting with Ubuntu9.1 & Fedora12. Happy with Fedora but running into some problems getting ATI Radeon 3100 to work properly(+no sound).
Did a dual boot before with both running, but previously ubuntu identified fedora and edited grub menu accordingly. This time not so lucky. Ubuntu updated to grub 2 and right when you cat the file the first line is "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"
Mainly looking for suggestions, How to's, things to watch out for...
below are some of the current grub file
-----Ubuntu---
