There is a "Linux for Dummies" book, authored by our very own Jon 'maddog'
Hall. I've never read it, but maddog knows his schtuff, so I would guess it
would be a good starting point.
"Running Linux", by Matt Welsh, the same guy who did a lot of work on the
Linux Documentation Project (LDP), is generally considered excellent.
If you're looking for something more for the "professional" system admin, I
like "Essential System Administration" from O'Reilly. (Actually, I like just
about *anything* from O'Reilly, but that's another matter. :) Paul has
another book that I'm sure he'll recommend but I haven't looked into yet. :)
Be sure to check out the LDP at their http://www.linuxdoc.org site. They
have all the HOWTOs and FAQs, as well as several more general Guides, all of
which are excellent resources. In particular, the Linux System
Administrator's Guide (SAG) and Network Administrator's Guide (NAG) should be
checked out.
Hope this helps!
