    Yes I did sudo apt-get install rutebook and when it loaded I found 
it at /usr/share/doc/rutebook and at /html it runs on my Firefox just 
fine. Saved it like a web page so I can get to it easy.

    It's a real good text covering how computers in general and Linux 
computers in particular work. It is more complete than the Red Hat Class 
and in fact if you complete this study you can pass the Red Hat Class 
with ease.
