If you are new to Linux and just want a quick tutorial, this book probably not for you. But if you want to go from newbie to hacker, this book is AMAZING! I have learned so much, although it has been a lot of wading through some nitty-gritty. Well worth it, of course. I'm telling you, this book is like the ultimate source, and I believe the first few chapters are free online, if you want to take a look and gain some incredible knowledge. This book tells you a lot about installing (but might I recommend a local installfest where experienced users are, if you have the choice) and boot-up, as well as kernels, files, and available programs. LaTeX RULZ! "You'll be free, hackers!"
