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 installed it, worked fine.
I ran the config to set everything right and it completed successfully.
Then I "startx" and i get a black screen with my boot options and it hangs.
i do have a problem with the addition of vmware tools...
i installed a FC3 on a XP Media centrer that has vmware on it. After the installation the display size is out of proportion... there is a note in vmware to install the vmware tools but if i try to install it, it says that i have to shut x first before installing the tools. However, i just can't get to a regular console ctrl+alt+Fx just doesn't work in vm ware.
Normally, (i meen on a regular linux box) i can go to ctrl-alt-F4 and kill -9 (X process), it seems that i can't do that on a virtual machine... To install the vm tools (that provide you with the ability to have a resolution other that 600 x 480) i have to shut down X before installing the tools . Is there and other way to shut X that would bring me the the command line only, or is there a way to start linux in command line only (that would do it...)
