I'm a Linux beginner with Debian installed. I'm looking for a beginner's guide to System Administration and I'm wondering if there might not be one particular to Debian.

Sys Admin guide specific to Debian?
I'm a Linux beginner with Debian installed. I'm looking for a beginner's guide to System Administration and I'm wondering if there might not be one particular to Debian. If not, can someone point me in the direction of a good generic SysAdmin guide? Thanks.

I can't recommend this book. There's a thin Sam's guide to Debian which was decent. There was also an older...Slink, perhaps?...Debian-project produced book about two years ago.

I can't recommend this book. Neither can I.

One I liked in particular was the Unix Bookshelf put out by O'Reilly. It's 6 books on CD (UNIX in a Nutshell and UNIX Power Tools are my two favorites in there) as well as a hardcopy of UNIX in a Nutshell. These have definitely helped me out. Jeremy
