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 has taken me years to find the ideal Windows calculator - Equalizer. Now that I'm fully Linuxed, however, I find myself once again in the search for a calculator. Which scientific calculator do you think is the best available for Linux?
I have been unsuccessful in installing pgcalc, but the screenshots I've seen do not bode well. BC is probably extremely powerful - all GNU applications are - but I was hoping for something a little more graphical. Fung-calc is outright amazing - and has definitely earned a place on my computer - but not entirely what I was looking for. What I need, in fact, is simply any old scientific calculator that allows one to type queries rather than go through the ordeal of having to push button after button. Any suggestions?

With respect I think you're being too fussy. If you're after mathematical calculations using formulae then surely the graphics aspect is not important? I can think of little that is more convenient than firing up a shell, running bc and just typing in the query.

Maybe I am... But this is a calculator I'm after! I can do without this "Internet" stuff (never really liked it anyway), and I've never really gotten the hang of "word processing" (I like my words raw) - and don't even get me started on "ut2004" - but I'm helpless without something to crunch my numbers for me. (In other words, my computer is a waste of a perfectly good Pentium IV.)
Old thread, but I was just searching for a good graphing calc, and the fung-calc screenshots look great. I'm compiling it now...see how it works. Anyone else know of a good calc program? I can get Mathematica for the super cheap student price, so I might have to do that when I have some money. Untill then...
