As Robert said, the O'Reilly books are great.
I have Linux in a Nutshell from O'Reilly and learned
an easier way to change permissions than what I had been
using. The idea is just to say what you want the
permissions to be for user, group, and other. Here's
some examples:
/home/terry/temp>ls -l
Followup to this post...
Does anyone have a reference that tells what files need to be what? For
example, what permissions do CGI files need to be? How about the cgi-bin
directory? And the html or public_html directory?
Thanks,
Lilly

hi all,
does anyone know how to store objects in a database using PHP? I've created
a class which has two attributes which are arrays. I need to store the
whole object in a db but I'm not sure how to do it. When I try to serialize
the array, the info is stored in a MySQL table, but I can't see
most of the boot up files are in /etc/rc.d, just look around there and
look at what it does

I'd really reccommend you get a book such as Running Linux (O`Reilly),
this particular one has helped me immensely, and it just plain rules. A
tip, don't get a book such as 'Linux for Dummies

Hi,
Does anyone know if I can install Linux on a laptop (Dell Lattitude) that
is already setup with Windows 95 without needing to reinstall all of the
windows curft?
thanks

I'm not sure what 'curft' means, but yes, you can install Linux along side
Windows 95.
There're two documents that would help you very much so:

installation howto
and:

Oh, another thing you can look at when setting permissions is the
httpd.conf file in under apache/conf. This file, sets all of the defaults
for what the web server can and cannot do. One thing people run into
sometimes is that this file (httpd.conf) is not set to allow
executables. So even tho

Hi, all! I'm just starting to get into Linux. I've installed it on a few
computers, but now want to learn more about what happens behind the scenes.
Hopefully I can find some answers here! Specifically, I'm interested in
knowing ...

Thanks. I have loaded Linux into clean machines before but never into a
Windows machine. Work is giving me a Windows 95 (i think it is W95 and
hopefully not W98) laptop and said I could load Linux if I was willing to
take responsiblity for it. The 'curft' (or rather cruft :), is all of the
