For system administration a clone of the venerable (and expensive) Unix System Administration Handbook (aka the Purple Book) by Evi Nemeth et. al. has been published under the name of Linux Administration Handbook. I reccomend it highly. For programming I hear that W. Richard Stevens "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" is the best. (It's in my to-buy queue.) I have one of his works on the TCP/IP protocols, "TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 1" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
