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've lost sound on my box and must reinstall my sound card.
I got an error message a while back but ignored it because I was under pressure to finish something else. Well, I want my sound back.
How do I do that?
Where do I go to see where my sound card is? Somewhere in /dev?
I've got RH 7.3 w/ SoundBlaster 16.
Do you know how you "lost" your sound in the first place? Did you upgrade your kernel, for instance? Whenever you boot into a new kernel, you must either have the sound drivers also installed for that kernel, or you must compile and install them from source.
No I don't know how I lost my sound.
As stated in post, I got an error message which regrettable I did not really look at. Then silence.
I was doing something else.
So all I have is what I posted.
I have RH 7.3 w/ kernel 2.4.18-3, out of the box so to speak.
