If they're coming from the Windows world, the fillowing book is
paramount for them:

It is &quot;Linux Administration for Windows Server Administrators&quot; and was
written by an old hand Mark Minasi.  

The thing I like about Hunt's library is that everything is well laid
out, easy to understand, and gives a topic-by-topic breakdown of each
subject covered.  I mean, can you remember the first time you needed to
know something about BIND, and cracking open the Oreilley on BIND?  I
was overwhelmed!  

The Hunt library starts from square one, and assumes you know nothing.
It takes you through the most advanced topics in a systematic format,
and when you're done, you know what you're doing at a very detailed
level.  This is when you're ready to use the Oreilley.

I have all but two of his books and am nothing but pleased with them.

Subject: [ale] Recommended Linux newbie sites?


Guys,

I have a young intern working for me and I'm hoping to show him the true
path.

I need a site that looks at Linux from a beginner's standpoint and walks
you through the typical Linux install process (tar -zxvf package.tar.gz
&amp;&amp; vi README || vi INSTALL &amp;&amp; ./configure &amp;&amp; make &amp;&amp; make test &amp;&amp; make
install) in a very gentle fashion...this guys knows his way around the
command line via basic commands but that's about it.

Any recommendations?

John
