Gang Scheduling In Linux (or FreeBSD)

I just bought a refurb computer at the recommendation of a forum member and now I need a manual. Which is the best online ebook to learn Linux for very very beginners! Like ' how to knock the computer on' beginners! A book that doesn't presume I know what a distro is! I'm joining the Linux community and very excited to steep myself in all things Linux but I need to start at the very beginning otherwise I'll end up getting disillusioned by the scale of the Linux dictionary.

Of course I am very Mac competant and not a complete computer unsavvy guy but I believe in order to really know something you have to go back to the basics. Please recommend a basic online books preferably in iBooks.

I look forward to driving you all crazy over the next six months with my ABC questions.


Thanks guys

Hello all.
I have been using Linux OS's of and on since 1996. I completely gave up on MS in 2006. I change out a hard drive in my PC and MS thought I should purchase a new site license, I did not agree with that train of thought.
I found that popping in a disk and getting Linux up and running was easy to the belief that "Nothing could be this easy". It really was. The learning curve was encountered when trying to make Linux Fly. I recommend that everyone new to Linux or anyone with a desire to do a bit more than e-mail, catalog some photos or music get your hands on a Linux command reference guide and learn the terminal. There is so much to understand and do With Free Open Source Software and there are so many ways to access, install and configure the available software. There are so many resources for help and trouble shooting all things Linux however, here's the caveat; I really had to learn how to ask the question to get an answer that worked for me. General question will get you general answers and rarely ever was the answer I sought found the hodgepodge of generalities found in forums or Google searches and the like. I learn to be very specific in my question and the answers were discerned with less difficulty. There are really answers or fixes for the questions I have had concerning Linux.

Hi everyone
