Bye, LenZ

Id second the running Linux by Mat Walsh. Although I wouldnt waste any $ on the Dummies book. IMO the dummies book gives an overall snapshot of the picture similar to reading a newspaper rather than a book.The dummies book may be ok for your grandmother to read about what her grandson is interested in but wont do anything for you the user. An Excellent book on networking is The Linux Network by Butzon& Hilton.IDG books You'll also find the hard core reference to be from Oreilly. The best experience is from doing, get some tips from this list (once the fanfare of 6.0 and kerenl 2.1 dust settles maybe this list will go back to the basics) and apply them, make mistakes and you'll learn more of how linux and suse does things. Also lurk/read/print/file info from <A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.setup"><A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.setup</A">news:comp.os.linux.setup</A</A>> <A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.help"><A HREF="news:comp.os.linux.help</A">news:comp.os.linux.help</A</A>> rob ps: why does the replyto seem to go to only the sender?
