Odd.. wget is not a recognized command. I never even herd of wget so it doesn't surprise me. Know of any other way? I am also looking for books to learn Linux since I have only been messing with it for...2 weeks now. I looked at the dummy books but they don't cover Red Hat. So am I suppose to get a dummy book for each flavor of linux or how does this work? Since I am using CentOS do I get the Red Hat dummies or what?
two books that were of inestimable use to me some time back are the Unix System Administration Handbook and the Linux Administration Handbook, both by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass, and Trent Hein.
they're of great practical use, and they'll keep being useful long after you've progressed past the "dummies" stage. go buy them. :)
if you're only going to buy one, of course, buy the Linux book.
