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.

On my dual core AMD with 2 gig of memory I installed Lubuntu in VirtualBox for testing and the install was very smooth. My primary OS is Ubuntu 10.04 and it runs sweet. When I boot the Lubuntu virtual machine all I get is the arrow cursor and a blank screen. Any Ideas?
I'm not the most patient, so take it with a grain of salt when I say . . .
Get rid of lubuntu and go with Mint9lxde, instead.
I had so many login problems followed by instability with lubuntu that this is what I did -- and don't regret it.
Try CTRL+ALT+Fx to get a console and there you should be able to do some real digging about your issue. I suggest disabling xserver, start by default with a text console and try then step by step to start the xserver and desktop/window manager. Give us some feedback on your progress.
