I can't claim they are the best, but there is a lot of good free stuff at the Free Technology Academy.

Books?

Pick a distro and read the tons of documentation available for it.

Then take a look at
The Linux Documentation Project : http://tldp.org/
rute : http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
O'Reilly Open Books Project : http://oreilly.com/openbook/

If you need a book or maybe a bible i recommend Linux Administration Handbook or even better the Unix version depending on your needs. They're a bit old but still great.

Best regards

Three books every SysAdmin should read. I like the third book.
