Are there any good Linux tutorials on the Internet for beginners?

Q. I know there are a lot of different distributions, but is there a good beginners tutorial that teaches the basics of installing, configuring, and using Linux? Also a site that maybe goes into advanced topics after you have mastered the basics. Thanks for the help!

A. I am biased here but if you are going to install Linux I would suggest Suse 10 or Suse 10.1, it is very easy to install, you can accept the defaults without any problems, just follow the onscreen instructions, just boot from CD 1.
here is a web site that has info for suse 10

or you could look at the Novel site
http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/ for download and info also you can ask them anything you need to know.

Here are some other linux sites.

I need an expect script to telnet into a linux server that is menu driven. What are the proper commands?
Q. I want to ssh into multiple machines and choose option 1 from the menu driven linux interface.

A. That question makes absolutely no sense.
All linux distributions have ssh built -in, you can ssh from your command line or use a client like PuTTY.
If you are wondering how to manage multiple ssh sessions, check out screen here http://www.rackaid.com/resources/linux-tutorials/general-tutorials/using-screen/ .
If this does not answer your question please elaborate more as to what exactly you wish to accomplish.

What free linux is the closest to windows?
Q. What linux works the closest to Windows and is also free?

A. I recommend Linux Mint 6 (Main Edition) which you will find familiar and it works pretty much 'out of the box'.

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 6 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint 6 can be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.
