Having never used Linux before in my life and stumbling thru the Ubuntu install, I got it working without a hitch! Must be a good operating system LOL!

Quick question; I am on Borders webiste searching for books and found literally tons.

I have about 15 years of networking experience and work in the industry but my experience is all Windows related. Besides Linux for Dummies, any suggestions?

The internet - books date

ubuntu pocket guide (http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html)

linux command (http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/)

Those 2 will do for a start

Thanks! I will check them out. Google resolves most of my problems, but for some reason, I learn better from old fashioned books...
