Newbie -- suggest a Linux book and give guidelines
 

Hi, I am excited to become a member of this well known and esteemed forum. I have started learning Linux a few days back. Basically i have completed my Masters degree in Economics. Currently i am working as a teacher in a private school. Any body who can suggest me a good book on linux for beginners. Which includes examples and cheet sheets. I want to practice but i need material to get help . I shall be so thankful for your time and guidelines.

Hi, Welcome to LQ!

A general web search for, GNU/Linux Machtelt Garrels

This may give you some pdf download sites for ...

I would suggest "introduction to linux" by Machtelt Garrels

These may not be as up-to-date as they could be, but make a good starting place.

... and any distribution related how-to's on particular subjects.

All the best.

I just did a quick search on amazon and was refereed to the following link.

I'd also recommend that the OP find a book on bash scripting for beginners.

In addition to a good tutorial and this forum, I highly recommend a inexpensive "lab" computer to learn on.

I hit reply too quickly on the prior post.

In addition to a good tutorial and this forum, I highly recommend an inexpensive "lab" computer to learn on. With it, you can learn to install different distros' side by side. Live versions will give you a good idea of what features they have. Installation will give a more involved experience, especially if it's a multi boot system.

Install Linux on a VM, play with it. Watch YouTube, read books.
