I have at least two editions of this book and can heartily recommend it, especially since it's not Linux-centric, yet covers Linux-related things. This is something he'll need as he learns both UNIX and Linux. I can also recommend Perl for System Administrators, also from O'Reilly, for when he gets the basics down and is ready to start automating tasks with Perl. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
