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.

thanks for the help but that didnt work. I typed in kdm startx xinit and kdm startx xinit gdm but it did nothing. It's probably becuz of installation it asked "You did not configure X. Do you want to continue?" I had no clue what that meant so i just said yes. So I'll try another install or another OS. again thanks for the quick reply
