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've been trying to get X11 forwarding over ssh to work, but to so for no avail, i've managed to be able to type a command on my remote windows pox using putty such as, 'rdesktop -f \\192.168.0.1' and the graphical rdesktop screen came up on my fedora core 1 box and not my remote windows box. can anyone tell me what i've done wrong or if this X11 forwarding isn't meant to do what i think it's meant to do, what i want to be able to do is see a fedora gui on my windows box.
hi yea, i have enabled x11 forwarding, i'm not sure about an x-server though, all i can find when i look for information about that is how to set it up with 'exceed hummingbird' and i don't have a few hundred dollar's to buy it. do you know of a good free x-server. i'm not sure if this helps but i have XDMCP setup to accept clients to log onto my desktop.
