....for being so enthusiastic about non MS alternatives. I just installed Fedora Core 2 after reading your posts about it. So far so good. Do you have any suggestions for decent reading for a linux newbie?

Lance still has the best page out there for this. It's a bit dated and there are quite a few services he doesn't have on his pages, but it's a wonderful start.
