Part 1.2 Type: application/ms-tnef Encoding: base64
I'll second, but I'll go a bit further. The book to keep at your desktop to use for a console reference is _Hip Pocket Guide to Unix_ by Michele Petrovsky and Tom Parkinson, published by IDG Books, ISBN 0-7645-3226-X. There's a lot of things I like about this one- spiral bound, so it stays open, alpha list of commands (96 in all), description of what the commands do and their various switches, brief inside front and back cover list of commands, and all of $14.95. Hope this helps. I personally can't stand reading on-screen, so this book was a Godsend for me.

Another book to consider is Linux in a Nutshell from O'Reilly--it's a very good quick referance, and it does include information about df.

I also own _Linux in a Nutshell_ and recommend it highly. _Running Linux_ is another title worth adding to the bookshelf.

Another possible choice for Linux books: "A Practical Guide to Linux" by Mark G. Sobell (Foreward by Linus Torvalds) (It's not O'Reilly) It is not specific to any distribution and does not deal with insatllation; a section on various commands. Best regards, Bob Russell kc8chq@juno.com Micro$oft, what do you want to spend today? If it says "requires Win95 or better," install Linux! _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Yes, I'd recommend that one too. It's *extremely* thorough, and includes a large appendix of commands. The fact that the author pointedly avoids dealing with installation is great -- that much space for other topics. -- Glenn -- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Since everyone mentions books, I'd mention Frisch' Essential System Administration. It's not Linux specific but deals with Unix in general. I think /. reviewed it recently, and you can find a review on <A HREF="http://www.slashdot.org"><A HREF="http://www.slashdot.org</A">http://www.slashdot.org</A</A>>. -M One is most dishonest towards one's God; he is not _permitted_ to sin. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
