I guess you should go for all those stuff and buy or print, do nothing.
What I suggest just sit in front of your computer and read line by line
from the book http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php (of course, you can download
it free). I am too a newbie, if you go all of a sudden with so many books,
you may find it difficult, the best is this only and go step by step, don't
follow two or more books - for you be rather confused....
