SysAdmin Books for Linux

Badfish · 11-22-2004, 10:36 AM

I am looking for suggestions on what sysadmin book to get.
I was reading some of the descriptions on amazon but noticed alot of the books were pretty old.

Any recommendations??

Which distro? Anyways if its FCx or RH then get bible to get start. Later you can visit http://tldp.org for all how-tos. Good linux books also got at http://linux.oreilly.com/

Good one to start:
Linux in a Nutshell, 4th Edition

badfish; agree with nixcraft, this site has more than u could ever read at once. just expand each section to fullest
for complete information on admin howto.
http://tldp.ogr/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX
sections 4.1 & 4.2 have what u may need. also http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/html/lnag.html --Linux Newbie Administrator Guide
