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 just installed mandrake 9.1 on two of my computers and love it, but im getting tired of kde, i mean i tried spicing it up with super karamba but i saw a screenshot of fluxbox and loved it.
so i d/l fluxbox's tarbell and i installed it (./configure, make, root-> make install) and i had no problems. then i said to myself now what? i tried going to run and typing fluxbox and it didnt give me a "not found" bow but it didnt do anything else either just kinda sat there staring back at me.
so i looked at the documentation online. 2 hours later i decided i have gotten nowhere, and gave up on that. so i ask now for some1, any1's help on this.
Mandrake needs ./configure --prefix=/usr , otherwise the package is installed in /usr/local/share/fluxbox. Try ./configure --help for more info, and also check if there's an autogen.sh script to ./autogen.sh before ./configure.
Try installing a 0.1.14 .rpm as that'll add the entries to your login manager, and then make install will write over those installed files with the newly compiled ones.
