SUSE provides detailed and informative books—the User Guide and Administration Guide. We provide HTML and PDF versions of our books in different languages.

If you need some basics, install the User Guide from the packages suselinux-userguide_XX and suselinux-userguide_XX-pdf (replace XX with your preferred language). For the Administration Guide, the package names are suselinux-adminguide_XX and suselinux-adminguide_XX-pdf.

The SUSE help center offers additional manuals and guides for various topics or programs. More can be found at http://www.tldp.org/guides.html. They range from Bash Guide for Beginners to Linux Filesystem Hierarchy to Linux Administrator's Security Guide. Generally, guides are more detailed and exhaustive than a HOWTO or FAQ. They are usually written by experts for experts. Some of these books are old but still valid. Install books and guides with YaST.
