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?
get linux in a nutshell. red hat's manuals are nothing. they teach u crap. if u launch termnial and want to know what a command does use this:
man commandhere
that type:
:q
to quit. that should help u learn

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.
