I have learned  most of the linux configuration stuff from installing  
Red Hat on an old pentium and poking around as well as using the 
O'Reilly books. It really helps when you have to install something 
Cobalt doesn't have a pkg for. The hardest part is figuring out what 
conf files the GUI changes. They don't do everything differently.
