'Self-Service Linux' in the Bruce Perens series. Authors: Mark Wilding and Dan Behman PRENTICE HALL Professional Technical Reference ISBN 0-13-147751-X It's freely downloadable from http://itknowledgecloud.tradepub.com You will need an account there, but its also a trove of other interesting publications on a wide variety of technical matters. Why is this useful? Its about problems solving in the Linux world. its not going to be a great use to people who have been using Linux, coding for Linux solely using Linux for a decade or more, but for people coming to Linux from Windows it will help them over a conceptual hurdle, introduce a lot of the very basic assumptions that "old timers" take for granted and often don't realise they are assuming. While some technical aspects of the book are out of date -- it was published in 2006 -- the first chapter on problem determination is a classic and well worth reading. If you work though the examples you may find that a few of the details are out of date, but the basic principles of using things like 'strace',, of keeping logs, and more are still applicable.
