What books do some of the more veteran linux users recommend for learning the ins and outs of linux. I mean linux outside of a GUI. I would like to learn basic commands similar to those used in the old MS-DOS days.
I've just recently started using Linux and I've had alot of fun already with Caldera and KDE but I think I'll try Debian next. Anyway, thanks in advance,

I'm reading: A Student's Guide to UNIX, by Harley Hahn, 1993, and find it excellent.

Go to http://www.hardcorelinux.com/ they have an article on the DOS to LINUX commands. They give you the DOS command and the appropriate LINUX command.
Enjoy.
If you want to learn to work from the command line, "Unix Power Tools" by O'Reily Press will show you more than you ever wanted to know (well, OK- so I'm exaggerating a little). It is written entirely from a command line perspective; only 11 sentences of the entire book are devoted to X. :D
