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.

If given a choice between i386, i586, and i686, which RPM package will work on an AMD K6? What about an AMD K6-2? If they all work, is there a "best" choice?
The i386 will work on all processors from a 386 upwards. i586 will work on all processors equal to a Pentium and above. i686 will work on all processors equal to a Pentium II and above. Installing things that have been tailored to your processor will speed it up (slightly). If you want something that'll work on all processors, go for the lowest common denominator.
