I go with two books...The Suse Administration Guide,
which if you buy the Professional version for the
desktop , in in hard copy.  And the IBM Redbooks for
installing Linux (Suse) under VM.

Why?  Being a mainframer, and VM bigot (since the
early '80s), I know the mainframe terms and how/what
to do.  I use the Redbooks as a roseta stone to help
translate the Suse manuals.

For example, there is a Redbook on how to install Suse
under VM.  Great.  Some of it is out of date, not only
due to changes in Suse, but in VM.  I can handle the
changes in VM.  So I read the Suse install process.  I
read the counter part in the Redbook, then I
understand.  In my world, there are minidisks.  In the
Linux world, there are hard drives that can be
subdivided into multiple partitions.  So, when the
install manual says one thing, just what does it mean
in my world?

That helped me get over alot of the initial problems
with Linux.

The Linux manuals are written for Linux people.
The Redbooks for Linux under VM are written for VM
people, but are out of date.
Combine the two and you have real knowledge.
