SOLDIERX.COM Nobody Can Stop Information Insemination

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in really acquiring a good knowledge. I'm fairly familiar with Windows, but when I use bash in linux I feel lost. Can anyone recommend some titles to sharpen my knowledge. I'm broke and cheap so buy books it most likely not possible, so one or two great titles would be more reasonable than recommending a library. Plus, I would like to know which is better for the novice like me, gnome or kde? I've used Ubuntu and Mandriva and liked both, so I'm kind of lost.

Thanks for the time,
