linux or hopefully Debian.
The one I usually recommend is the "Linux Cookbook" by Schroder - Also an O'Reilly publication..
It is a recipe book that covers some of the common "how do I do.." subjects along with a few oddball ones. However, it does asume a basic knowledge of keyboard usage (i.e. several notches above the "Dummies Guide to").
If you would like to peruse the book, I'll try to bring it to the next ALUG pubmeet in Norwich.
Regards, Paul.
V.kind of you Paul to offer but i live in Walsham and Norwich is a bit far. [What i'd spend in fuel return trip would be about the cost of the book!]
