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 use ubuntu 7.10 and after installing glib and gtk downloaded from www.gtk.org the os won't boot. The loading screen appears but that's all it oes, keeps loading. What can I do?
You can try pressing ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-F2. This may take you into an alternate console, if it does you can log in as root and try a repair.
With Ubuntu many packages are available on synaptic or apt-get, as your problems occured loading alternate software, this is the most likely source of data corruption
