I started my quest looking for a server, because I am studying for the network+ (comptia) certification. I love this SUSE 10.3, but I am so new to linux, I am still learning how to spell it (G).

Can anyone suggest to me where to look to learn about the basics, such as vi and all?

Thanks
Scott

Check out Unix Power Tools by O'Reilly. It's not quite aimed at the newbie, but if you first go through a beginner book (I used SUSE Linux by Chris Brown, also from O'Rielly) it should be managable. I found it enjoyable, and it covers the old standbys like vi, awk, sed, shell scripting, even PHP and Perl. All kinds of good stuff, written in a "almanac" format (+1000 pages of goodness!).

I don't know of a good beginner book that covers much of that stuff (vi and all), though I am sure it's out there

Here's an internet help book on openSUSE 10.3 from Novell. There's an index and a search box on the left. I searced on "editor" and found this for vi: http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensu..._bash_edit.html
And here's the full index for openSUSE 10.3: http://www.novell.com/documentation/...103/index.html

You could also run vimtutor to learn vim. Also check out the Linux Rute guide.
