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.

Frustrated with Fedora 3!!! Just installed...
OK, I am very proficient with Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003. I work in IT and thought it would be a good Idea to learn Linux. I installed FC3 and I like the look of it. I'm just not sure how to do things. I downloaded a Divx Driver and it was tar.gz format. What is this? I could look at it with whatever desktop program that I have but don't know how to install it.
I just found out about terminal and the commands seems fairly confusing.
Is there a guide somewhere that can make this transition a little more bearable? So far, it is great for surfing the net but that's about it.
