Not a bad idea.  Much of the core elements in Linux haven't changed that much 
since I learned Solaris way back when.  What I discovered then was c-shell 
which led to c and the 'discovery' that these things are totally married to 
each other.  Once I started playing with that concept the rest all started 
falling into place quite nicely.  These days bash scripting takes the place of 
what c-shell did for me back then.

Anyhow, that is what originally got me hooked on ttylinux and those old 
textbooks ought to be of great assistance to getting a feel for what is 
possible.  However there are some noticable changes in the area of networking 
Linux boxes, mostly hardware issues, but you have to start somewhere.  Right?  
One thing is for sure, kde won't get you there, and hence Knoppix and the like. 
 Nice toys, quite a few 'broken', is all they are and without the basic 
knowledge that is all those will ever be.
