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 Some of it is out of date, not only due to changes in Suse, but in VM.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 The Redbooks for Linux under VM are written for VM people, but are out of date.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.
