Recommend good SSH Linux reading
I'm new to Linux and SSH and there are tons of books about using Linux. Cany anyone recommend a good, beginners-version of understanding and using Linux and, as a bonus, an explanation of SSH as it applies to reading, changing, editing, downloading files and directories from an Apache server?
Thanks!

1 -- For some reason, 'pico' doesn't work as a file editor for my download of PuTTY. When I try using 'pico' I get a '-bash: pico: command not found' error. I thought 'pico' was a standard command with Linux.
2 -- When using VI to edit a file, what is the command to save what you've changed and exit out of the file? Is it :wq ?
3 -- Can you explain the purpose and use of 'wget' ? I think it's the command to download a particular file from my remote Linux server to my home desktop computer where PuTTY is running. Is this even possible?

1) pico is not a standard program
"command not found" has nothing to do with putty, ssh or hatever you use for connection, but with your shell environment your get/set at login
2) :wq
ZZ
3) man wget
