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.

It's quite sad but for speed and versatility nothing has come close to winamp yet. Closest thing we can get is XMMS, which uses classic winamp interface. Someone on this forum recommended me Audacious, which uses the same interface... but sadly it currently has playlist issues which makes it unusable. Perhaps they fixed it. I had the latest source release a month back and it didn't work properly. On the other hand the good old XMMS built from source works as it should. XMMS2 daemon is out, but there are too few working interfaces for it...
I keep comming back to XMMS. I'm not sure if it handles podcasts or streaming, maybe plug-ins availible? Listen is very nice, with many features. Listen is kind of an Amarok for Gnome - it does handle podcasts, but takes up more desktop space than XMMS.
