[Cialug] New Linux User orientation?

[Matt Breitbach]

So I'm foraying into the linux world hot and heavy.

I'd love to find some good resources for new linux users - I don't need to
know how to use GIMP, I don't need to know how to tweak the user interface,
I need to know the meat and potatoes of Linux.  Mounts, permissions, file
sharing, user management, etc.

Anyone know of a good book or site that covers this information without
going into extra crap that I don't need?
