Could you recommend some good linux books
 

Starting my course in IT next month, hoping to get into network administration, i was wondering if anyone could recomend some good tech books on networking and security. I have seen a few books around the bookshops but i'm not sure which ones are worth buying.

If u want to study networking basics to techie level better go for networking by stevens, it is the bible in networking, it has 3 volumes i suppose

hitesh, is the richard stevens book available online?? i mean, is there an ebook of the same?? i cant afford it :cry:

ok i think i have seen that around somewhere, going to the book shop again next week so I will have a look for it thanks

I don't know much about the book availability online, but there are lots of resources available online which can get u a better grip on the details of networking....

Real World Linux Security by Bob Toxen is a killer book.

Security is what i am hoping to get into eventually, so Real World Linux Security sounds go.

Hacking linux exposed was a really good book.
Haven't read real world linux security so cant compare them.
