I am a relative beginner and currently own
Learning Redhat Linux by Bill McCarty , O'Reilly, 1999 . It comes with RH
6.0 on cd; this is a great book for the newbie, I wish I had it when I first
installed Linux, but does not have all the answers you might want; it is
oriented to those moving from a Windows environment;
Running Linux 3rd Edition by Matt Welsh, Matthias Dalheimer and Lar Kaufman,
O'Reilly, 1999 An excellent general reference and sysadmin guide and
completely up to date; has two chapters and almost 100 pages devoted to
programming issues;
Linux in a Nutshell 2nd Edition by Ellen Siever, O'Reilly, 1999. This is the
command reference of command references. It is your bible for sysadmin esp
when new to the game. It will not stand alone --it was not meant to--but in
conjunction with a good guide like Running Linux it will solve most of your
problems. (Works for me!)
A Practical Guide to Linux by Mark G. Sobell, Addison Wesley, 1997. A very
good reference by a noted Unix guru, very thorough coverage of the subjects
it deals with, textbook-like with exercises and problems to work through.
Slightly dated, but that is not really an issue.)
Linux Complete Grant Taylor, Ed. Sybex 1999. The "World's #1 Linux Value "
-it says so right there on the cover and would be correct if it was not all
available for free on the internet. It's a compilation of stuff from the LDP
(Linux Documentation Project), is cheap (US$20, CAN$29 for 980 pages) and it
is worth buying as a reference because it is so much nicer to turn pages than
browse them.
