Thanks > signed... a true beginner-i need the very basics TQ: and I bet that's not your real name... I like the Wiley Publication "Red Hat Fedora Linux 2 Bible," by Christopher Negus. ISBN:0-7645-5745-9. It's a $50 book, that I bought online from WalMart, for 30 some dollars. shipping was $2 or something silly. Can't beat that! In England it's 34 pounds (that's what the book says on the back. I've used this author / series from RH7.3, and taught me how to do the basics of installs, command line, administration, scripts, backups, security, LAN configuartion, firewalls (basic), print server, file server, mail server, web server (apache) dhcp & NIS, MySQL, DNS, etc... Of course I still have questions, that's why I'm on this list, but this has to be a great starter. as you are a C++ and VB prog. this will be easy stuff for you. hth kate __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
