I would appreciate it if some people could tell of some good books to learn linux. I'm not looking for a reference book just yet. I just want a book, where I can get a very firm base knowledge of Linux. Something that has a good structure; preferebly one that has a learning sequence... ya know? basics - intermediate - advanced... stuff like that. Right now I'm looking for books mostly aimed towards beginners.

What would you suggest? I do not want to spend money on a book and find out that I got the wrong book or one that is written poorly.

Thanks a bunch! I really do dislike not understanding things fully. I don't wanna be a newbie anymore... I want to know what I'm doin lol! Imagine that!

BTW, this question is asked all the time in the forums. Click on the search button at the top of the page. You'll find a lot of information that way.

Ooops, I'm sorry about that, I really should have looked before I posted! Stupid me... Thanks though.

do what i do, go to a bookstore like Barnes & Noble , browse thru the books & make note what u want.

go to this excellent web site for buying books (much better than Ebay)

www.alibris.com

i always buy books USED here & almost always they are brand new. Shipping is $3.49 per book.

gdivens51,

Great site. I added it to my bookmarks and looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of shopping there.
