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'm having a little problem(newbie ), I have slackware 10.1, kde-3.4 and kernel 2.6.10 . My default E-mail client is thunderbird 1.0.2, and I pretty much like it, but I wan't to get notified when I get mail(maybe check for new messages every 3 minutes) but I have to run thunderbird manually everytime I start my computer, to get this feature, any ideas how I can fix this... maybe always get thunerbird in "system tray" when I run the computer, how? can I get popup when I get mail?
There is one extension for Thunderbird under windows called minimizetotray http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/
it only works under windows.
Under KDE, I hope you can use any panel plugin that comes with KDE to get alert on new mail (I've one in my GNOME) then start Thunderbird to read the mail.
