Linux noob recommendation


I do network administration of a windows 2000/XP domain with AD and know the basic commands of UNIX but would like to get heavily into linux, have red hat 9 installed and would like to know a good book to read to learn the ins and outs of the O.S. Does anyone have any suggestions?

man commandhere
that type:
:q

Good place to start...

I am working on my LPIC1 certification and have found "LPIC1 Certification Bible" to be VERY handy. It is somewhat distribution neutral.

I find reading throught the man files to be helpful and just hacking away is also a good learning method; however, you end up with a lot of fractured knowlage and not a good solid foundation.

Just my thoughts...
