Matt Walsh's "Running Linux" (O'Reilly, www.ora.com) was a great book two years ago when I was just starting with Linux administration. There's also a book exclusively about Debian Linux written by Dale Scheetz .. I don't have a URL, bu I'd bet you can find it from the Debain site (www.debian.org). I'd go find it for you but since I'm already at my dad's house, I'm doing this from within Windows 3.1 Terminal (arrrg).
