Hi Nathan:

As another relative 'newbie' to Linux I can appreciate your problem.

I recommend starting with Running Linux, Linux Bible/Dr. Linux (appear to
be the same book), Linux in a Nutshell and then start printing out some of
the HOW-TO's and Mini HOW-TO's (that aren't published in Dr. Linux) and
start playing.

I started with Linux Unleashed + CD some years ago but was left high and
dry on some basic concepts.

The O'Reilly books are excellent but even they sometimes make assumptions
that are quite elusive to us DOSoids.

Hope this helps you out.

Regards,

Brian.
