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.

Uh. Nasty power outage, and the computer dropped while I was in Red Hat 7.1 Linux. I'm trying to get in, and it's giving me a message that I had an unclean shut down. It drops me to a shell after I give it my root password. Then what? I'm just staring at a blinking screen, taunting me. I can't bypass this, and I can't get into my OS. I can't do anything.
What do I have to do to let me back into the system? May you please tell me the exact lines of text I have to put in? Remember, when I say newbie, I mean newbie. I'm not going to understand any jargon you toss at me, due to the fact I don't have any linux-related information tossed at me on a regular basis.
most likely you need to check your filesystem with fsck.
depending on where your / drive is at and whatever other partitions you may have your system using.. it will be a something like this :
hey ive had the same problem but the message told me that efsck2 would have to be used instead... i tried that same convention efsck2 /dev/hdaX but i got a bad command name... any idea why?
