Evi Nemeth et. al. have written a new edition, "Linux Administation Handbook" which will be useful if one knows that one will be using Linux rather than Unix as it's more up to date and covers more distros than USAH's coverage of Red Hat 6.2. It's also a bit cheaper; though the Unix edition is probably worth the extra bucks if you're working in a Unix or hetrogeneous environment. SuSE fans would be happy to know that the Linux edition's authors seem to like SuSE more from an adminstrator's standpoint several times.
