What is the best linux book?

[Martin]

To be more specific, I want a book that teaches everything, Command Line, config files, filesystem, hardware management, compiling src, installing stuff etc, but NOT a book that teaches which buttons to press in KDE to copy a file.

Basicly, I wanna learn Linux from the bottom up, not just the superficial stuff.

Why buy a book? The Linux Documentation Project.

nice site. Hands on experience and time may be the only way out.

TLDP may be nice, but I don't like reading off the screen at all...

By the time you finish reading a book that's long enough to cover everything ytou want to learn, half of it will be obsolete. With computers, it's often better to jsut learn as you go.

btw: man program/library/etc

q exits.

I hear Running Linux by O'Reilly is good.
