If you know Solaris, I'd say you'll find linux simpler (in general).
However, it would be handy to know which distro you are using to be able to give you specific advice.
You may find what you want in the long list of books at linuxtopia.org

I can tell you one that Solaris doesn't have. Easier Administration
