Any good books for Linux newbies?

Reference and such. I'll be getting Slack and Suse pretty soon, but haven't a clue about the FS and commands.
 
This book is a little more distro specific, but I really liked the Red Hat Linux Bible. Linux in a Nutshell has just about every command out there for Linux (it's quite a read).

A long time ago, there was this PDF floating around called "UNIX is a Four Letter Word". That was quite good, but tries to be specific to the C shell which I doubt you will be running any time soon. But, a lot of the command wills work on Bash as well. If you can't find it, PM me and I'll send you a copy of that.
 
"Running Linux" by O'Reilly (Reily?) Is an excellent book and doesn't target one distro, so you'll be set with it.

Also, check out www.linuxnewbie.org for people who can answer almost every question you may have.
