Though it doesn't have workshops, I highly recommend: Sams Teach Yourself Red Hat Linux in 24 Hours The cost is only US$30, and it also comes with 2 Red Hat Linux CDs (for install) It is also an extremely good book on getting started "Andrew Diaczyk" <adiaczyk@tampabay.rr.com> wrote in message news:swKB6.3665$fs3.1152310@typhoon.tampabay.rr.com... > I want to learn linux.

I can agree on this one, it's an excellent book, as is the Network Administration one for Linux from O'Reilly. -lewiz.

Yeah the O'Reilly one is good. If you are an NT/Win2k administrator I would highly recomend "Linux for windows NT/2000 Administrators" from Sybex - has lots of real life problems and talks somewhere between Newbie/techie "caffeine" <nospam-lewiz@bigfoot.com> wrote in message news:tdgv256ch5t1e4@corp.supernews.co.uk... > I can agree on this one, it's an excellent book, as is the Network > Administration one for Linux from O'Reilly. > > -lewiz. > > "Frank Miller" <fmiller1@home.com> wrote in message > news:3AD7B313.753D9605@home.com... > > Andrew Diaczyk wrote: > > > > > > I want to learn linux.

For red hat First things first. The best way to learn linux is to install it on a computer where you don't mind trashing your installation by accident. Then, mess around on the computer, with a decent linux book at your side. Labs aren't really necessary. Just start reading and typing (and perhaps re-installing :) ) My first linux book was "Redhat Linux Unleashed" by Sams. It's a huge book, but it is very complete. It includes chapters on a ton of subjects. I highly recommend it. It doesn't include labs exactly, but I ended up learning linux by messing around with linux, with this book at my side. Actually in hindsight, the whole book is one big lab. Most linux books are, really. Lots of technical information laid out makes it easy to learn linux if you actually have a computer to play around with. Although, I think the very best linux book I've seen is O'Reilly's "Running Linux." Another decent book I have is "Linux install and configuration little black book" by coriolisopen press. It is aimed towards redhat and caldera, but it includes chapters on samba, X, window managers, kernel compiling, perl, security issues, and more. I've found it to be a really good second or third linux book. Not the first book I reach for, but sometimes it has information missing in other books.
