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.

Is there a way to introduce a command to apt-get when, I am installing a package to get it to download and install all unmet dependencies for that package. For example what would the command look lie to download and install "wine" along with all the unment dependencies?
This is the output that I am getting
pc1:~# cd '/root'
pc1:~# pat-get install wine
bash: pat-get: command not found
pc1:~# apt-get install wine

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine: Depends: wine-bin (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: wine-utils (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-alsa (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed or
libwine-oss (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed or
libwine-esd (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed or
libwine-jack (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed or
libwine-nas (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-gl (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-print (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-sane (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-cms (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-gphoto2 (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-ldap (= 1.0.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
Linspire has a good package manager, have you tried that? Using the command line is a good skill, but sometimes it's best to use the package manager to do these kinds of things.
Linspire CRN normally work well, apt is not configured by default, you have to add some repository if you want it to work, but it may break your system. If you want APT, use debian or ubuntu.
