Linux book for beginners?
I have a partition on my kids' computer on which I'm thinking of installing Linux. I'm interested in any recommendations for books on Linux for absolute beginners -- I know zilch about anything that ends in "nix."
I've seen a few on Amazon (Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Linux by Peter Norton, Arthur Griffith; Sams Teach Yourself Linux in 10 Minutes by John Ray, Paco Underhill; Sams Teach Yourself Mandrake Linux in 24 Hours by Craig Witherspoon, Coletta Witherspoon; Complete Idiot's Guide to Linux by Manuel Alberto Ricart), but they all seem to get mixed reviews. Anyone have a favorite among these or any other?
Also, the newest of those four was written in '99. Is there any reason to look for something newer?
Thanks.
