   There are so many Linux Guides for beginners that I don't dare to recommend one.
   If you have an Internet connection you can type in Google search ; "Linux", or "Linux Guide for beginners", etc. Hundreds of manuals online and information about Linux will be available.

   domcox recommended a site about "Unix", which is almost the same, but to be in the safe side just use the word "linux instead of "Unix". if you find a tutorial that is a pdf file, you can downloaded and read it offline. Read the slitaz documentation about reading pdf files.
   it take some time to learn about linux, but it's a very rewarding experience. You can pickup the basics very fast.
   Good luck and welcome to Slitax linux.

   in fact... don't start to read ALL of book who speak about gnu/Linux... ;)

   the most important ( all ur live it will be the same) it is to learn gnu/linux command base:

   ex:

   be root with su and..command: ls mv cp mkdir etc...

   to learn that rapid ( and keep in memory)... go in tty and do all "exercice" like that( in command line), without serveur X ( and no click with mouse)and after 1 hour of that... u will keep for all ur live in memory

   take care and when u test/learn that...be never Root

   bye

   It would probably be better to learn as you go. Just focus on the basic commands:
   pwd - shows the current path to the directory you're in
   ls - shows the contents of the current directory you're in.
   cd - moves you between directories and when typed without parameters, will take you back to your home directory.
   mv - allows you to move files or directories between different locations - can also be used to rename files.
   cp - allows you to copy files or directories between different locations - can also be used to copy a files with a different name than the original.
   mkdir - Creates a new directory in your current location.
   su - Allows you to login as a super user or root. You will need to enter your root password when prompted.

   That should cover the basics for now.

   "Tiny man fake" : view online man pages with retawq browser
   Open xterm
   man
   Follow directions to install retawq browser
   man
   Usage: man [section] command
   man ls
   Displays man page for ls
   q kills retawq and brings you back to command prompt
   Replace ls with whatever command or program you want man page for.

   Hi,

   The SliTaz Documentation Wiki is a good place for start, providing guides and tips for basic to advanced users. You can get an introduction for some of the basic and helpful commands on:

   http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:commands

   Then, you can browse the other handbook topics for some other docs. They cover a lot of things you should know to use SliTaz and other GNU/Linux distributions. Some of the topics are Live CD usage, installation, desktop configuration. Give it a try:
