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 wanted to know if it is possible to back up all my mobile phone contacts to my laptop
i have a razr 2 v9 with all my contacts and want to back up to my laptop and put them on my new iphone 3g
i do have a bluetooth adapter i can use
any help would be greatful

Well, you don't say what version/distro of Linux you have, but a quick Google search turns up lots:
It looks like the moto4lin package, or kmobiletools, will do what you want. Not sure if it works via bluetooth, but definitely does via USB cable.
Also, use caution here. If you're wanting to get these contacts up to your new iPhone, good luck. There aren't any good tools right now (without jailbreaking, etc.), to let the iPhone work with Linux. You might be able to use your browser with MobileME, and import a file into your contacts, though....
sorry my version is suse 11.0 if that helps. ill take a look and see if that will work. i do have a cable for both phones so ill give it whirl thanks for your help
