When I began working with GNU/LINUX in 1994, it was straight from the DOS world. Though UNIX was unfamiliar territory, LINUX books assumed that anyone using LINUX was migrating from System V or BSD--systems that I had never heard of. It is a sensible adage to create, for others to share, the recipe that you would most like to have had. Indeed, I am not convinced that a single unifying text exists, even now, without this book. Even so, I give it to you desperately incomplete; but there is only so much one can explain in a single volume.

I hope that readers will now have a single text to guide them through all facets of GNU/LINUX. --- cut --- you'll find it usefull ;) ...and of course the RedHat documentation itself. subscribing to some local linux user group mailing list helps also...

There are gazillions of good references out there, but picking one depends upon your perspective. What do you do for a living? (job, experience level) Approximately how old are you? What level of education do you have? How much non-job related computer experience do you have? What OS's have you worked with in the past.
