New Revision: 49037

Log:
  Remove the 'Learning about Unix' section.  This is heavily covered
  in the Handbook, and having it here is redundant.

-    <p>Many of the problems we have as newbies come from being
-      unfamiliar with the UNIX commands, needed to fix our &os;
-      problems.  Without a UNIX background you will be faced with two
-      things to learn at once. Fortunately a lot of resources are
-      available to make this easier.</p>

-      <li><p>The <a href="&url.books;/handbook/basics.html">&unix;
-	Basics</a> chapter of the &os; Handbook covers the basic
-	commands and functionality of &os; operating system.  Most of
-	the information provided in this document is also relevant for
-	any other &unix;-like operating system.</p></li>
-
-      <li><p>There are many easy books, such as the "Dummies" guides,
-	in any large book shop. If you want something really easy,
-	take a look at what is available and pick one that seems to
-	speak your language.  Pretty soon you will want to move on to
-	a book that gives more coverage.</p></li>
-
-      <li><p>Another popular book is <em>UNIX Power Tools</em> by
-	Jerry Peek, Tim O'Reilly and Mike Loukides, published by
-	O'Reilly and Associates. It is organized as a series of short
-	articles each of which solves a problem, and these articles
-	are cross-referenced to other articles with related material.
-	Though not specifically aimed at newbies, the design makes it
-	ideal for a newbie with a burning question or the odd few
-	minutes to browse. More elementary material is near the front
-	of the book, but there are short easy articles
-	throughout.</p></li>
