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'm currently using mandrake 10.1 and using GAIM and I like GAIM however GAIM does not support file transfers so I would really like to learn how to compile and install AIM for linux or any other program I can get to file transfer over aim. Can anyone recommend any sites that have a tutorial for doing this or maybe even a book to help out a total newb?
If you search google for "aim+linux", one of the first results you'll get is a link to the official aim site for Linux. Follow the instructions on that site. The interface doesn't look very nice though.
I would reccomend, if GAIM really doesn't support file txfr, using GAIM as an IM client, and emailing files. The Linux version of AIM is VERY old, and very bad not to mention.
Thanks for the help guys. I really wish GAIM supported file transfers but over AIM it doesn't and its nice to have that feature but I guess if the aim is that old then I won't bother with it. If anyone has any other advice I'm still up for it.
