I bought 'Running Linux' by Matt Welsh & Lar Kaufman, published by O'Reilly & 
Associates.  I find it very good.  Some of the material is recognisable from 
LDP papers like the HOWTOs, but in 570+ pages it goes into greater detail.
Chapters include generic unix concepts and essential system management.
I ordered it unseen, on recommendations read in the newsgroups, and I've not
been disappointed.

Regards

Jeff
