You can go to the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/docs and get the getting started guide in html format and the users guide in adobe acrobat format (to read maybe on your windows/dos machine/partition). These are free and a good start. Have fun.

I finally got my debian installation to work after many weeks(months) of frustration. Thanks to everyone who gave their suggestions. Now I am worse off before. I don't know how to talk to linux. At all. I can do a few commands, cd, df, dir, and other simple stuf. I don't know, however, how to run programs. I have always prefered dos to windows but this is quite a bit more complex. How do I run programs? How do I know what type of extension is an exe. file? Can someone suggest a book for beginners. Preferably geared toward debian. I though I would be able to figure it out but I think I had better get a book. thanks rod
