The best Linux book I've ever read (from a non-technical person's viewpoint) is The CorelLinux Official Guide. While other Linux distros have eclipsed CorelLinux in many ways, their user documentation hasn't.
Note: I haven't looked at the Orreilly book mentioned below, because books are out of date before they even arrive on the shelf!

you know Alexander? You are wrong. I think nobody is not respecting anyone's time, if you hadn't time you would not even answer.
And in fact the man is absolutely right. There is no place for beginner to get a clue and still worse when they ask (or dare to say something to the mighty guru) they get shitty offending answers like yours.
Most people do not spend time and make money with programming like you and me, they need to spend their time to make money in other ways and do not have time left for reading manuals. I personally (even if you are basicly right) think it is a null answer sending somebody reading man or faq or books. That does not help anything. In fact windows success is that you do not need to read a word and that you can learn it at any school. There *nix is far behind. It does not help a bit that we know (or say) *nix is better and on the other side we offend newcomers sending them to shut up.

Second, in the year you spent learning Linux, have you tried reading a book, like for example this one?
