Below is a short list of basic books for newbies. I have given a few details about each. Apart from these, there are distro-specific books that are available. But the ones below are the ideal start. All are available from Shroff Publishers and Distributors http://shroffpublishers.com/ Linux for non-Geeks & Ubuntu Linux for non-Geeks -- Rickford Grant (probably the most painless guides for newbies, they get you going, but do not help you understand Linux much) Linux Pocket Guide -- Daniel J. Barrett (a must-have, short command reference and basic intro. Cheap, a handy size to carry around) How Linux Works -- Brian Ward (probably the best intro. to Linux). Linux Cookbook -- Michael Stutz (a useful reference) -- I wept because I had no answers, until I met a man who had no questions -- John David Stone -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
