linux books?

can anyone please give me some links having good linux books to download?

thanks

Danish

For what???
I mean for Linux programming, Linux Installation, Linux Server Configuration, Linux Kernal Compilation or what??

If its Linux programming and Arcitecture, I would recomend you,
"Advance Linux Programming"

This is the best i every read... Its name is Advance programming but its even good to start with..

Free--start with TLDP.org

Also, if you search on a specific topic, you will often find tutorials.

$$:
O'Reilly website---in particular, look at Safari

Books are overrated. Learn by doing *thumbs up*

Check out RUTE by Paul Scheer

linux administration
 

sorry everyone for replying so late..i was not well...
well i have started out as a linux administrator so i would be looking out for books on that subject like shell scripting...buying books would be a costly affair for me...so cant linux books be downloaded from a website

danish

people have already given you very good suggestions for free resources. I seriously hope you're not expect to illegally obtain content from vendors like oreilly...

Suggest you first follow-up on advice already given---there are lots of free downloads.
Have you been to TLDP.org?

yes iv been through TLDP..the sites great...except its a bit technical for a newbie like me...but ill go through it

With free downloads, you will find a lot of in-depth stuff--manuals, tutorials, etc.....You may want to consider buying at least one book---eg "Linux in a Nutshell" (O'Reilly)

Thank you very much pixellany..ill be buying the book (Linux in a nutshell)

That's a great book for both learning, and reference. It has a lot of in-depth material for many different distros. In addition to this, as others have said, online tutorials can be found for individual applications and on broad concepts.

If you haven't checked out the tutorials section, you may want to start there:
