You can't grep dead trees.  That said, if you really want
a dead tree thing, and the "go to website, print out a
bunch of stuff" things that Kurt and Dennis suggested
don't appeal, it's hard to go wrong with _Running Linux_
from O'Reilly.  I bought an old version in 2001 or so, but
I found that it was too basic for me at that point.

Or you could bring your laptop to one of the meetings,
and one of the PLUGgers would probably be able to set it
up for the Net.
