Hello - Definitely a newbie. Coming from a Wintel background...Looking for Linux resources online. Specifically, a 'from the ground up' book or site which you would recommend for basic Linux/Unix administration (i.e. command line reference). Thanks for your help - DaFool
Here is the book I use in my Linux Admin intro class, and 2 optional books I recommend to my students:
Required - Running Linux by Dalheimer & Welsh, published by O'Reilly, ISBN 0-596-00760-4 or 978-0-596-00760-7
Optional - A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux by Sobell, published by Prentice Hall/Pearson Education ISBN 0-13-700388-9 or 978-0-13-700388-4
Optional - Ubuntu Linux Toolbox by Negus & Caen, published by Wiley, ISBN 978-0-470-08293-5
The Ubuntu Linux Toolbox book comes in a few different flavors - Ubuntu, SuSE, and Debian IIRC
