We'll return to cero@hooked.net and All's
discussion of Books and Videos for beginners?

 ce> I am new to linux and UNIX for that matter. I have no idea how to use

IMHO, the best way is "hands on".  Install a Linux system (an old 386 is
ideal, until you feel you confident enough to not trash your main system
when installing it).  Along with a real Linux box to play with, grab
some of the FAQ and howto files off the Net, read the man pages on your
system, and experiment.  If you do everything on a spare machine,
you can always re-install, if the problem can't be fixed. :)
