Go for the Linux Unleashed book by SAMS. It's a big clunky one, but, it
doesn't assume too much and gives you a good grounding.

From there, invest in the O'Reilly & Associates animal books as you begin
learning specific areas. The good thing about the ORA books is that
they're not Linux-specific but software specific (eg, DNS & Bind, Sed &
Awk, Mastering Perl, Sendmail, etc).

Best of luck with it.


Peter.
