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.

just installed slackware 9 and want to browse cd for books and software ..
what program allows user to view contents of cdroms in cdrom drive and print the manuals on them . It (/dev/hdc) just asks for program to open with
tried editor ,bash, kbrowser , but nothing reads the cd contents .
either x (kde) or cli commands .. i have tried both ..
Any comments woul;d be most welcome
Also cannot shutdown pc correctly from bash logout ,it just says 'login' again.
You do want to figure out how to mount and unmount those CD-ROM Drives. Use the link FancyPiper gave. As far as shutting down, I've had luck with both shutdown now and poweroff. I mostly shutdown from konsole now with poweroff more than any other method because it's quicker, especially from X-KDE! Had a few issues with shutdown now here & there. You can use these commands with all users, not just root!
