Ok, So Which Book/text/magazine Should I Get

Which text should i get to inform me about the ins and outs of linux. I'm very computer savy and have built many pc's from the ground up. As such, I can handle a book that moves quickly to advanced matters, as long as it builds a solid foundation first.

I'd recommend http://www.novell.com/documentation/

And, http://elibrary.fultus.com/covers/technica...uides/list.html

Plus you can search for "O'Rielly's + Linux"; lots of good books there.

When you are ready to tackle a specific app, you will find that the builder's site usually has a guide/FAQ/forum/etc.

Try Novell's "Cool Solutions"; some of them get real deep quite fast.

Have fun...

Go for the Rute Guide.

linux user mag is fairly good for the latest software and drivers and things but its not a manual that you'd just read once for that I'd suggest official openSUSE documentation
