Does anyone have any suggestion on some books about linux. The ones that I have browsed thru are usually specific to fedora, or explain how to do everything thru the a GUI. Im looking to find something that will teach me how to do things without the GUI, and more along the lines of the debian distro
Let's see... using the forum search function reveals these threads which may interest you:
Newbie Books
Admin. Handbook
JL's Reading Guide
I'm sure those will get you started...
'Running Linux' is the seminal work for this kind of thing. If you want something specifically Debian, then 'Running Debian GNU/Linux' is the one.
Both are O'Reilly books.
And one or both of those that mrBen posted should be freely available online as well.
can't go wrong with those. my personal favorite is "The Linux Administration Handbook"

I've been using "Linux Administration: A Beginners Guide" by Graham and Shaw. It goes over all sorts of intranet and internet services, using the CLI for all of them except CUPS. For CUPS by the CLI I mainly used "man lpadmin".
i have read Linux Maximum Security, its very good, this is for those who are intersested in linux security.
Im checking for a linux book too, i want a complet book, that speaks about everthing in linux, not pointed for a distro, but general
Here is another one you might wanna check out as well: Linux Power Tools . I found it to be a pretty cool book with lots of good info.
