Books I continue to reference today or have used as texts for classes I've taught, etc. 1.) Evi's (RIP) book: https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Linux-System-Administration-Handbook/dp/0134 277554 PDF Download Link: http://libgen.io/search.php?req=0134277554&open=0&res=25&view=simple&phr ase=1&column=def 2.) Paul Sheer's, "Root User's Tutorial and Exposition (RUTE)" Rutger University's online HTML version: http://linuxcourse.rutgers.edu/rute/ Robby Workman's online HTML version: https://rlworkman.net/howtos/rute/ Carnegie Mellon University's online PDF version: https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/95-799/rute.pdf 3.) The Debian Administrators Handbook: https://debian-handbook.info/ After working through any two above, I would recommend the following for your next foray: AEleen Frisch's, "Essential Systems Administration": http://libgen.io/search.php?req=978-0596003432&open=0&res=25&view=simple &phrase=1&column=def Followed by a couple of good *modern* books on Bash programming too, here's one to get you started: https://www.amazon.com/Shell-Scripting-Automate-Command-Programming/dp/1 51738043X and... https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Command-Shell-Scripting-Bible/dp/111898384X This Bash scripting tutorial by the Linux Documentation Project is always a great and handy resource: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ This next particular book is one of my favs... dog eared, highlighted, and one of my copies almost falling apart. Although you should have an intro to Bash prior to reading this, I believe it is one of the essentials on a bookshelf, since it begins from the ground up showing you how to formulate completely portable scripts that you can carry from Linux to BSD or Mac or Modern Solaris with respect to sh, ksh, Bash, and even a little zsh compatibility within a single script so you'll hardly ever have to worry about your scripts running on all of the different OSes. https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Shell-Scripting-Arnold-Robbins/dp/0596005 954 A great compliment to Classic shell programming is Seebach's, "Portable Shell Scripting". Both have a focus on portability (which is so very important), and have great coverage of sed and awk too, although neither is optimum for someone who's never written a single script: https://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Portable-Shell-Scripting-Professional/d p/1430210435 Back in the day, These were my goto learning and reference texts: CSRG's 4.2BSD manual (1983): http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/stanford/stanford_4.2_BSD_manual/4.2_BSD_Vo l_2C.pdf Coffin's, "UNIX System V Release 4: The Complete Reference" (1990): https://www.amazon.com/Unix-System-Release-Complete-Reference/dp/0078816 53X Yggdrasil Computing's, "The Linux Bible: The GNU Testament" (1994): https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Bible-Gnu-Testament/dp/188360107X 2nd Edition here: https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Bible-Gnu-Testament/dp/1883601207 I hope that helps :) Kindest regards, - -- Bradley D.
