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.

Amarok gives me problems. I'm running the latest 1.2 version in SUSE 9.2 and the first song is always muted with the counter going about 3 or 4 times faster than real time. The second song plays fine.
still cant believe metacity (of all the window managers) beat fvwm2 .....
owell... next year I'm sure there will be more options to vote for... as a few nominations (never can nominate to early), RSBAC for hardening app, and ... planeshift, vegastrike, cube, and Globulation 2 (all missed this years ballots, by next year I'm sure they will have even better gameplay) for OSS game section
