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.

You'll quickly move on if you have an eye for that sort of thing.. IPTables just sounds scarey... it's not really. Have a look for jays-firewall that might be a good starting place for you if your a command line officionado!

Rep:
firestarter and others are not the firewall themselfs like in windows and other os s they just sets up the firewall for you they use iptables which is linux s own firewall they just configure it for you.
True, I use monmotha's IPTables firewall script. it implements masquerading and basic security using iptables. It is easily configurable by modifying the options near the beginning and does not need to be rerun every time your IP address changes, making it perfect for users with dialup connections. Many features such as limited flood protection, TTL mangling, port forwarding, and MAC address based matching are available.
