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 came home from my walk and my monitor was black, no activity when hitting keyboard or mouse. Shut down machine and then waited for reboot, it sticks to the same moment as picture posted. I tried dif boot seq in the selection but no luck. I cant find my boot disc.
Would greatly appreciate help in getting it going again.
I'd be thinking your disk is still (at least mostly) o.k, or you wouldn't have got that far. Might be a swap problem.
At the boot menu, highlight the selection you want and hit the "e" key (for edit). Then highlight the kernel line and do the same. Remove the "quiet" from the end to see if you get better messages.
Hit <enter>, then "b" to boot it. Temporary change only - for this one boot.
SO I installed the new Deb5 that I downloaded yesterday. Installed it but it did not show me HD2 (I have 2 40gig drives) seams to have only used the one. Wondering if someone can tell me how to select it and add it, or is the drive the reason for the crash?
