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 don't think my CDROM drive is supported by Mandrake Linux. I checked their website and i looked around and i couldn't find anything to help me out much. does that mean that i can't install Mandrake?
Ok, so i can use it, so how do i install it? i downloaded the 3 images from a mirror and burned them to CD's. now what? i thought that i just restart my computer, but when i do that, it just boots into Windows.
You should have downloaded 3 ISO or CD image files and the md5sum should check OK. Burn these to cd as images. I hope your burning software has help files you can read.
Otherwise, you will have to name your burning software and wait until someone that uses that software.
Carefully reading the instructions on the home page/faq/etc should help as well. Check the links I posted for Mandrake.
