"I just cracked open a new book I got from buy.com: Mark Minasi's Mastering
Windows NT Workstation 4. He's a real good writer on computer stuff. It's a huge
reference book, but he also helps you understand the underlying mechanisms and
such."


Good book. I also recommend the NT Resource Kit. Monstrous and technical, but quite useful at times.

"I'd imagine NT has a hardware manager or something for adding new
hardware and installing the drivers. Haven't been there yet."


With the many configuration tools in NT, you won't find a device manager like you do in Windows 95/98. (A central place to view devices, update drivers, ect.) Windows 2000 though, does have a device manager, that should make things easier for driver updates, and resource conflict management.
