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.

im was just wondering what some of the differences are between UNIX and LINUX, i know linux was built off of unix, but exactly was added, i know most the command lines are the same but im sure a whole bunch are not!! but ya im not in hurry for posts, just wanna get some insight on you wonderful most helpful group!!
the difference between unix and linux nowadays is as
diverse as the differences between linux distros, but
at the core they're the same and posix compliant.
Yup. Most of the commands are the same, and software (some, not all) that can be compiled on Linux can be compiled on Unix, and vice versa. The main difference is that some Unixes are actually proprietary (like Solaris, AIX, etc.) Some are, however, open source, like Linux. FreeBSD comes to mind.
I'm actually planning to try out FreeBSD on a spare box. Not quite sure how it'll be, but I think I've learned enough with Slackware that I should have very few problems.
