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.

How to test it externally what adress should i give to a friend
My external ip, if it, i have to do a port forward to my localhost and changes to shoreallt
how to get a cool adress, and everything i will need for free dns
Yes, you need to give your external IPadress to your friend to access your webserver.
If you are behind a router (or NAT) you need to setup portforwarding.
If you have a changing IPaddress (like with many Adsl providers) you can easily setup a DynDns account (http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/).
Many hardwarerouters can handle dnsupdates to the dyndns site automaticly.
External (local is only for your local network, won't work outside) and yes, you'd need to do port forwarding on the firewall.
You mean a domain? You can buy one (then DNS service is often included) or get from one of the providers who give them for free (but you have less choice and longer domain names then).
