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.

Yes, you need help, and in more ways then you imagine.
What you've done is way outta line with respect to the LQ AUP. Not a double, triple but a QUAD post.
Why is this bad?
1. You're promoting your question w/o regards to resources. Yes, you don't have to pay for it, but that doesn't mean you should get greedy.
2. You're wasting people's time and energy because people are bound to react to one of the duplicates, thus duplicating the effort to help you.
3. By promoting your question several times, you get a bigger chance yours get's answered. Which means you show no respect to your fellow LQ members who are decent enough and show enough good netiquette to post their question once.
