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.

In the company where I used to work, we bought 2 thin clients, thinking it were just TFT monitors. So we don't have a server. Is it possible to run linux on it without a server, just the thin client.
I'm not into sun systems or solaris whatever it was, but I know we just could turn it on and only a waiting cursor appears on the screan, I thought it was waiting for a sun server to boot up from LAN and I was thinking, isn't there a way to fake a sun server with a linux pc to run the thin clients from that pc.
It looks like you are talking about SunRays.
There's no O/S on them, so they do not really boot from LAN, but definitively need a Sun server to be used.
There are plans to have the server software released for Linux: http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=333
