I found O'Reilly "Running Linux" was a very good introduction for a
computer-literate newbie, but that was 2nd Edition - I have no idea
what the new one is like.  O'Reilly does a pile of other good stuff
such as "Learning the bash Shell" for in-depth coverage and "Linux in a
Nutshell" when you know the background and just need the syntax etc.
