I've got a really good one I recieved in school. I think it is a great book; however, it is Red-Hat/ Fedora a la YUM. I think it is still a good book for an Ubuntu person, and even goes into sed and awk, and some shellscripting.. I could bring it down for you to look at.<BR>
<BR>
I would like to get it back one day, whenever that day comes.. No hurry.<BR>

He asked me to recommend some books to him. <BR>> <BR>> I always struggle with this question. I have not yet found a good book<BR>> for new Linux users that gets into the nontrivial practical advice<BR>> that is useful for taking care of a desktop Linux system. <BR>> <BR>> I would imagine such a book would contain: <BR>> - Some information about becoming root<BR>> - Some information about editing files on the command line<BR>> - Some information about navigating the command line<BR>> - Some information about "where to find things" on an Ubuntu system<BR>> - Some information about how to get around in the GUI<BR>> <BR>> It would be well-written, easy for beginners to start following, and<BR>> helpful for getting over the learning curve. <BR>> <BR>> Any suggestions? I think "books" can consist of dead tree materials or<BR>> stuff he can download and read offline. <BR>> <BR>> - Paul <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> http://pnijjar.freeshell.org <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> kwlug-disc mailing list<BR>> kwlug-disc@kwlug.org<BR>> http://kwlug.org/mailman/listinfo/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org<BR> </body>
