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.

ok i got slackware 9 installed on my comp, its just a fresh install out of cd, no kernel compiles yet, just some ntfs partitions mounted at boot and minor stuff like that
so im running a sis735 chipset mobo, i wanna change to a smaller rig with the via km400 chipset, after the mobo change, suppose all my ide master/slave configs are kept the same, i wouldn't have to change anything and it'll still work perfectly fine eh?
I upgraded my mobo, cpu and memory from 66 Mhz FSB with SDRAM and a 366 Mhz CPU, to a 266 Mhz board with an Athlon XP and DDRAM. Windoze died without a fight, but the only think Slack noticed was it being much faster :-) I *believe* most of the mobo stuff is compiled into the kernel, so yeah, as long as you keep your hd/cd/dvd the same, you shouldn't have to do anything. Don't you just love linux???
