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 need a little applet or something for the taskbar for Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 that shows me the signal strength of my wireless connection. It seems that the standard "network manager" does not show this although it looks as though it should. I tried WiCd but that broke my system.
If there is a conky script for this instead then that would be great to know as an alternative
Thanks and regards from
Tom

Reason: spellng mistakes
Rutilt is handy. Written primarily for managing wireless connections on ralink chipsets, it works as a signal indicator for any wireless connection. Start it with the command 'rutilt -t' to put it in the tray.
