David -
I missed the original question, so I don't know if you were
recommended these resources, but two I recommend are:
1. Linux for Dummies. The original was by our own maddog,
currently shown as by "Dee-Ann LeBlanc, Melanie Hoag, Evan
Blomquist".
2. A book I've seen but not read (so take this
recommendation with a large grain of salt) - "Moving to
Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye!" by Marcel
Gagne. He writes the "Cooking with Linux" column in Linux
Journal, and does a pretty good job of making things
understandable. According to the reviews, in includes a
copy of knoppix (my favorite distro for introducing people
to Linux).
3. This (and other) LUG lists/groups.
Finally, I do recommend picking up at some point "Linux
Administration Handbook" - the Linux version of the "Unix
Administration Handbook." A good reference for running
systems.
