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 tried my thiz linux cd that i had with my motherboard and i cant get my sound card work
its a sound blaster live!
evey time i boot it tells me : Error while initializing sound driver
device /dev/dsp/ cant be opened(no such device)
the sound server will continue, using the null output device...
Look around in /etc/rc.d You should find rc.modules and try to edit it. If it's a SB Live! it needs emu10k1 module (cause the error probably means that you don't have a proper driver). Try to add:
/sbin/modprobe emu10k1 to the script.
