I just wanted whatever input you guys cared to send my way on some books I am thinking of getting. I am transitioning from a Windows NT administrator (I know, I know!) to a Unix/Linux administrator (Hey, I eventually came around), so I am not starting from scratch but I am unfamiliar with Unix and Linux except on a basic level. I would appreciate any help you could give. It's just that there is such a large selection of books that I am having trouble choosing, although I am not averse to buying more than one book on a subject. And for those interested, yes I already have searched the archives on MoonGroup. What I am interested in is your impressions of the books as experienced users who can now look back and evaluate what they needed. Also I know that one or two of the books are on a distro other than suse, I will possibly be supporting them so any comments would be helpful, or at least comments on the redhat versions in the same series(* Unleashed, Using * Special Edition, etc.). Thanks in advance to everyone for your help and your patience.
For a general book on Unix, you might want to have a look at the one I wrote, ``UNIX for the Impatient'', published by Addison-Wesley. It's reviewed on Amazon, with an average 5-star rating. It would be complementary to a SuSE-specific or even Linux-specific book.
