General discussion / Re: Question on Linux books
« on: May 26, 2015, 04:34:31 AM »
     Thank you for your replies. Currently, I'm trying to spend most of my time running openSUSE through a virtual machine, switching to windows when there's a program I need that requires it(As far as I can tell from researching all of my programs, the only things where this will matter is for gaming, everything else has a Linux version. Hopefully once the other computer is repaired I can move further with this by installing something like Gentoo or Arch. Having a computer that is exclusively Linux will probably help a lot more than the hardware inhibited version that Virtual Box is running.

General discussion / Question on Linux books
« on: May 22, 2015, 10:41:15 PM »
Hello, I've been trying to find resources to learn about Linux so I can be confident about its use before installing OpenSUSE. I found two books listed below and uploaded PDF files of both of them. If any of you have read these books before, or have read the linked files enough to get a solid opinion, I am interested in hearing if you believe that these are legitimate learning tools or something that will just gather dust. Thank you for any help you can offer.

How Linux Works: What Every Superuser should Know  by Brian Ward The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction  by William E. Shotts Jr.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section. Between this and the ebooks section and the OS section, it seemed this was the safer bet if I wasn't sure.

It's specifically for c++ but it has been a useful tool for learning the language.
