Learning Linux screencasts

Question

I am trying to get started with Linux.

There are number of books (many of which are just man pages), some of them provide good overview so I can dig deeper online then.

What I would like is to find number of screencasts that would cover basics of Linux commands, server administration, commonly performed tasks etc (no GUI, only terminal).

I want to watch the screencasts to "get it quicker" and then use a book or online resources to "dig it deeper".

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Dmitriy.

ShowMeDo has a number of screencasts on various topics, including Linux and programming.

I'm going to vote to close this but I found this to be a good book:

http://www.amazon.com/Official-Ubuntu-Book-Benjamin-Mako/dp/0137136684/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

I think I have the second edition, but it got me up and running quickly. BTW, I don't think linux can be learned from screen casts. Your going to need book*s* and you'll be visting SuperUser.com a lot.
