Q: I was actually learning the basic things on my own fault and then the experts here, if I keep stabbing at something. So, Im looking for a book that Linux topics: covers 977 503 – file (owners, groups, users, rights, etc.) 977 503 – the file (which app are stored, where the files are stored, etc.) 977 503 – networking with Linux machines and Windows machines (configuring Samba, CUPS, firewall, etc.) 977 503 – Install / Uninstall applications
-basic Linux commands (though on many websites) 977 503 – something else that could be useful
Thanks a forest. If someone suggests a good source, I put it in my sig.
Best Answer: The best thing is to download and install it on your own and work on it, not book require, there is too much LINUX information on the web, after all LINUX is open source and so is everything that you need to learn it.
SUSE Linux is really good.
RED HAT Linux is the most popular one though.

Re:Once I read somewere something funny, something like:
"Linux: The newest and most fabulous operating system to hit your local bookstore"
Which was funny because the first Linux OS I got was Redhat 7.0 and I bought that with a "Linux Bible" type book. I only had dial-up so I didn't feel like waiting a weekend to download the cdrom images, and I didn't own a cd burner anyways.. So I figured I'd buy a book and get the OS along with it.
Most big bookstores have lots and lots of Linux books about different subjects and such. Linux administration bibles, black hacking books, linux for dummies, linux reference books, programming linux reference books, howto books, linux history books, learn Unix on Linux books, linux cookbook books… etc etc etc.
Seems to be a popular thing. Some books are very nice. Others are very very crappy, most are in between. O'reily books are generally high quality and good, O'reily is a publisher that makes a boatload of money by supporting OSS stuff.
So if you can have the time then i'd say go down a Barnes&Nobles and flip thru a few books until you find something you like. As a bonus many include installation cds and such so that you can make sure that your OS matches the book your learning from. Just be sure to get a up to date books. Most bookstores have a mix of new books and old ones… Like I'd avoid something like 'Redhat 9.0 administration bible' because Redhat 9 is pretty much obsolete.
Also in the 'the linux documentaton project' (in the link of my sig) they have guides and howtos that I've found to be helpfull. Also search google you can find very good results on most subjects.
Also distros that have intellegent package handling tools such as Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian make it easy to install and uninstall software. For most people starting out you usually should choose 'install all' type options so that you don't accidently miss installing something.
One of the big things people miss is things like GCC compiler and development versions of packages, for example.

Re:Moving to Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye! is a pretty good book for beginners. Debian, RedHat, Mandrake, SuSe, Slack & Gentoo also have very good administration & user guides that you can download at their sites. And, Linux In A Nutshell by O?Reilly is a very handy reference book to have at your desk.
