Here are a couple of good reference tools. Both are downloadable.

1. Linux Newbie Administrator Guide - Written for newbies. Basic but quite helpful.

2. Rute - Much more in depth. Very usefull.
aay - I didn't know if this was for me or not, but I'm going to give it a look over. I want to learn as much as I can. I want to setup a computer to show my family and friends that all the software on there was freeing downloaded. Plus this will show them other options to use than MSOFFICE for word and excel docs or Windows OS. I'm using openoffice on a windows machine here at work and like it alot.... I haven't tested the other free office program yet. (Software 602) Has anyone check it out or used it yet??? Thanks again aay...Glad the newbs on this board doesn't get flammed like other boards.....

Thanks again to everyone!!!
