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.

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to make a console app start fullscreen with NO menu, or close buttons? I am thinking about ncurses, but I have yet to find anything. I have searched google, but have not been able to find anything.
I hope to write this in C or C++, I am still a novice programmer so forgive me if this post seems basic.
There's no simple way of doing it, no. Basically you'd have to use calls to X to do that (not to mention stuff like that sucks a lot and is generally unnecessary). What are you trying to do exactly?
Thaks for the reply. I am working on a serial port monitoring tool for my amateur radio. I guess it doesn't have to be fullscreen, but it would be really nice if it was.

For a few examples download the code for the book "Beginning Linux Programming" by Wrox Press (the code is GPL'd). Get it here: http://web.wrox.com/0764543733/2971.tar.gz
(chapter 6 is about ncurses)
