If you're into basic, black-screen Unix-like stuff, I think Essential System Administration, by Aeleen Frisch ought to be on you bookshelf. I wish I had the time to really get into it, but it is a lot clearer than many other books out there. I've had the 2nd Ed. for a couple of years, and yes she does recognize Linux. Perhaps she already has a version dedicated to Linux, I haven't looked lately. (I try to stay out of bookstores: they always cost me money!) --doug At 10:50 10/07/2002 -0400, Jerry Feldman wrote:

In that case a good one would be the Linux Administration Handbook. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130084662/qid=1034007555/sr=1... Preston

I'd also highly recommend: Linux Administration Handbook: Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Trent Hein. It is about $70.00 and by the same authors who did the red Unix Administration Handbook. They cover all 3 major distributions: Suse, Red Hat and Debian. It's down and dirty and one of the great points of the book is they cover how something is done in all 3 mentioned distros, if one does it differently they point that out as well. -Scott At 02:47 AM 10/8/2002 +0200, Carlos E.
