Good book or HOWTO for Linux configuration?

Hello-
I'm a graduate student in electrical engineering at a large research university. I
spend much of my time at school running circuit simulations on the department's
UNIX network (we use Cadence IC446, if anyone's curious). The UltraSparc 5 I
have at my cube is painfully slow for large simulations, and I have been toying
with the idea of using a PC running Linux to speed up these computationally
intensive tasks. I am moderately proficient working in a UNIX environment, but I
have little to no experience actually configuring a machine; I still run Windows at
home. Can anyone suggest a good reference on how to get started? I have some
vauge notion that I'll have to mount all the networked file systems, but other than
that I have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I'm not sure what you're getting at. you want to turn your window's box into a dual boot machine so that you can run some of your simulations on your home pc? there's another forum, linuxquestions.org that may have some specific answers to some of your questions.
