book or documentation

[Bryan]

hi,

i'm currently using kubuntu as my linux system, but as a total linux newbie, i 
can't really get around the system using the command line.  i know kubuntu is 
debian based so i went browsing at the bookstore for a good debian book, but i 
haven't found anything i like yet.  too much of the books i see a devoted to 
gnome or gnome apps and i'm not really interested in that.  i'm also not really 
interested in learning kde with a book either since i feel comfortable clicking 
around and figuring everything out on my own... so i don't feel i'm getting my 
money's worth from those types of books.  but when it comes to the command line, 
i feel i need help.  i would prefer a debian slant to the book or documentation 
so i could understand kubuntu better.  i would even be happy with a something 
off the web that is newbie friendly and complete.

thanks,

bryan
