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 feel rather silly posting a question this simple. Through research on this web site I set up a file association to launch Netscape 7.1 when I click a URL. I'm running SuSE 8.2 in a KDE desktop environment. I did this by:
1. Launching Control Center.
2. Selecting KDE Components
3. Selecting File Association
4. Typing url in the Find filename pattern box
5. Clicked the + sign next to the word text in the result list (there was only result from the search).
6. Selected the item x-mswinurl (it was the only item under text)
7. Under the General tab, added an entry for Netscape which is supposed to launch /usr/local/netscape/netscape when a URL is clicked in my e-mail client (Ximian Evolution 1.4.3).
Now, here's what happens. If Netscape is already running and I click a link, a new Netscape session starts and sevices the link. If no Netscape session is running, a Mozzila session starts and services the link. What am I missing in order to have Netscape 7.1 service my links, even if Netscape isn't running?
