So I'm foraying into the linux world hot and heavy.<br>
<br>
I'd love to find some good resources for new linux users - I don't need to<br>
know how to use GIMP, I don't need to know how to tweak the user interface,<br>
I need to know the meat and potatoes of Linux. Mounts, permissions, file<br>
sharing, user management, etc.<br>
<br>
Anyone know of a good book or site that covers this information without<br>
going into extra crap that I don't need? <br>

It'd help people to help you if you told from whence you come into the Linux world...<br>
<br>
I have an old copy of "Linux in a nutshell" ISBN:1-56592-167-4 (O'Reilly) that provides a large serving of the meat and potatoes you've asked for.<br>
<br>
For a bit (a /big/ bit, actually) more depth, I've resorted to "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" ISBN:0-201-563-17-7 (Addison Wesley).<br>
<br>
What constitutes "extra crap" depends very much on the specifics of what you'll be doing, and at what level - and you haven't provided any clues in that direction, either.<br>
