Linux books for DFS
useful. Maybe if you spend more time reading than you do trolling here, you'll learn something and be motivated to become a genuine Linux user.
'How Linux Works - what every superuser should know.' Brian Ward (No Starch Press)
The No Starch books are good value for money, well laid out and readable.
'Linux Cookbook - tips and techniques for everyday use.' Michael Stutz (No Starch Press)
There's a new edition out, mine is an older one, and slightly out of date but still very usable. Mainly focused on Debian, and the command line, but no less valuable for that.

A fun book of things to do with your Knoppix CD, including a guide to remastering.
'Linux in a Nutshell - a quick desktop reference.' Ellen Siver, Stephen Figgins, Aaron Weber (O'Reilly)
