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 am just learning about computers and know nothing at all except how to turn it on. i just booted up linux and recieved message:
[ 0800654] Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (8,1)
i am following the general way of things for posting so that first link was an unessesary waste of time. second, i do not understand programming, so the second link made no sense at all. third, i cannot start my linux partition due to the fact that my computer is trying to read a hard drive thats not there. could you be a little more helpful?
ps. i am also new to forum protocol, so if theres something genuinely wrong with my posting here, please let me know.
