If you are lucky, in the paper shops there is a little book called, "The
Linux Pocket book".  It is an APC mag publication and is a much better
start that Kaufman's "Running Linux" if you are a beginner (like me).

A small down side to the 128 page pocket book is that it costs $14.95
and has a version of Red Hat 5.2 on it.  If you do not mind forking out
again for something you already have (IE Red Hat CD), this one is for
you.

Linux is fantastic - No blue screen of death and no "Easter Eggs" with
glowing tributes to Bill Gates.  Just a wonderful Operating System that
can be added to and is better in many ways than Win 9x!

Good Luck (as I need it).
