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 use Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) and Ubuntu desktop is based on Gnome.
And sometimes it happens that files are formatted with the Gnome icon
(without asking you) and I can't find a way to open them.
Thanks in advance

Umm you mean there's the foot-icon on the file? It probably means that the desktop system can't figure out which program to use to open it, and you'll have to find and open the program yourself, and load the file into it. What file is it?
Code:
file filename.xxx
may tell you the file's type, if it's known and can be figured out. Then just hunt down a program that opens such files and go ahead
