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.

Just installed Ubuntu 7.04 and I enjoy most everything about it. I'm having issues though with playing my videos.
When I have the 3d effects from Compiz (Open GL Desktop) running [wobbly windows, etc] VLC won't play the video portion of my movies or tv shows. All it will play is the audio and a black screen.
If i turn off the 3d effects it works fine. I would prefer to not have to switch it on and off whenever i watch a movie.
Can you select the video output driver of VLC? Ability of mplayer to play movies with Beryl running depends very much on the video output selected. The xv output all but locks the machine, while the X11(OpenGL) driver (-vo gl) is not so bad. Still no picture during cube rotation.
Don't really want to try all the possibilities in case I end up having to hit reset.
Thanks guys. I switched my video output driver to x11 and it worked. now the only issue i have is getting it to stay on that setting. i keep saving it but it doesn't seem to want to change permanently
