There is no single all the stuff book for Linux. First procure a book eg. bible install Linux and try it out. Sure you will run into some problems. Get help from book or online forums like this. You'll be well familiar with Linux in 1-2 months . Good luck

I will not its the bst one, however it covers lot of stuff, and depending on your need of experience there are different books, start with these books.

Newbie to Linux Planin to buy a book so buyin linux bible from wiley- writer-Christopher Negus will be ok?

[Faun]

linux bible is good but nothing beats the online world, forums, blogs and other resources.

I do refer to Linux Bible but its a bit geeky if your linux IQ is nil.

To get some help, just ask in this forum. thats how many guys here, me included, learnt linux. and google is another precious tool to get help.

As for chm, use xchm.

Ubuntu has a software called Synaptic Package Manager. Using its search function, you can get software for any work.

If you want to master linux don't ignore commandline. They are very powerful, useful and sometimes gets job done faster than GUI.

[Rahim]

^So true.

[vamsi360]

east or west CLI is the best until you get something which cannot be undone.
If you want yourself to be a linux geek start learning linux using CLI from the beginning .

[ambika]

Command line interface .........even ....when i just try to compile....c source code ...using gcc it gives some error messages.

I am really new to linux.......can anyone tell me how to set gcc also tell me its dependency.

Can anyone assign me ....a good tutorial on CLI.

[vamsi360]

i suggest u install fedora9 from DVD with all the development kits installed. Then you have all the compilers with you. gcc, g++, java, python, ruby,perl.........

Even you have qt3 and qt4 ides also. U are also presented with c,C++ IDEs when u use KDE. I suggest u install both KDE as well as GNOME.

To compile a file using gcc::
C File :::
[code] use ur own editor(i suggest kwrite) and type the program and save it.Then point to the directory using terminal and type

cc filename.c
then ./a.out
Thats it!

CLI tutorial----search in yahoo or google and practice them. There is no need for a book. Search and find as many commands as possible and practice them. Remember no one cannot learn whole commands. Again it depends on your intrest.
I suggest u use man command the most to master your skills.

[MetalheadGautham]

install a software caled geany. just install it and open it and explore around.
you would definitely love it.

[ambika]
