Arch linux is a great distribution - the best imho! I considered myself a newbie before arch - even though I had spent some time with Red hat and the like! I have learned more in a month with Arch, than a year with the others. Hope these help you become a confident linux user/addict !

I like the IBM link you provided. I've been "around town" with Linux for some time, but there are some great documents on that link which I hadn't even been familiar with...
thanks.

I must agree with you Paul as I have tried a few "linux" distros & by far I am learning more from this distro then any of the "others" I have tried.Hopefully soon i will be up & running.

If you can read spanish (some articles are in english), this is maybe the best place/community to find good stuff like articles, tricks, and more:
I've never found anything like that in english, at least as good.

I know, it's from Mandrake, but it's generic to Linux. Way back when I was a beginner, this guide got me going on the command line. I hope it's helpful to someone else out there.
UPDATE: changed their name and thus url.... http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/MandrivaLi … Line.html/
still as good for the beginner.

I was fascinated into linux by Mandrake but it is Slackware that made me to "learn" linux.
And to be honest, it is the linux community which helped me like a father in my attempts to troubleshoot.
