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.

Rep:
Well I cannot speak about Mandrake but RHL9 is old and basically unsupported now. Red Hat ended support over a year and a half ago, and many third party support is no longer available. Choose something more modern, Fedora Core 4, CentOS-4.2, Mandriva Linux 2006 or any other supported version of Linux.
You can get almost any for the time it takes to download and create the installation media, or purchase for a small price.
