Linux book recommendations?

[shiner]

Just wondering if someone could recommend a good Linux book for me. I'm a Net Admin where I work and have my Win2k MCSE(and not a paper one) but I'm looking to get more into Linux. I've played with it some in the past and want a good guide that I can read and get up to speed on Linux with. It looks like we may be bringing in some test servers here at work and installing Red Hat Advanced Server on them and I've been picked to do the testing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Running Linux (O'Reilly publishing) is pretty universally regarded as the shiznit if you're serious about learning the system. That along with a Red Hat specific book would do you well.

to the max 😉 i was getting into linux about 3 months ago, asked the same question and they told me about the "Running Linux" Its a great book, so is Linux in a nutshell by O'Reilly {if they aint the same thing}

Thanks! I should have thought about O'Reilly since their Windows and Exchange books are damn good.

I found "Linux in a nutshell" is a great reference book.

you can always read the HOWTOs that are all over the web ... one can learn a LOT from them, and its free

Which distro does "Runnning Linux" work best with. Or is it the same for all distros. I have Debian and wish to be able to hack it like some of you gurus.

Why not Linux forums like High-On-Linux, or an IRC channel? I used several books, but never really learned too much until I started out with a little help. There is a new book out called Linux For Windows User. That might help. Dunno.
