     This is from the one person here at ISI that I know is familiar with 
     Linux.

     I'm not familiar with any of these titles, so I can't comment on them. 
     Also, without knowing what this person's goals are for Linux, it's 
     impossible to do anything but make some very generic statements such 
     as:
     
     1.  If you are trying to set up and install a Linux system, or even to 
     administer an existing system, and you are now truly at Ground 0, 
     DON'T DO IT.  Get somebody to do it for you.  Go to 2.
     
     2.  If you have a user account on an an existing Linux system, and 
     want to learn your way around, remember that Linux is just a form of 
     Unix, and you should be looking for a book (or a class) to help you 
     learn how to use Unix.  Try this one, it's good, short and cheap:
     Learning the Unix Operating System.  Grace Todino, John Strang, and 
     Jerry Peek. 3rd ed., 1993. O'Reilly and Associates.  94 pages.  $10.
