I found three books that have REALLY helped me:
SAMS Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed by David Pitts and Bill Ball et
al.
(Explains most networking services in great detail, I use it
almost everyday)
SAMS Linux: A Network Solution for Your Office by Viktor T. Toth
(Good book to go from NT to linux. Lots of networking info)
SYBEX Mastering Redhat Linux 6 by Arman Danesh
(More of a beginner's book to redhat 6. Explains how to use
linux. The one is more
of a prequel to the first one)

Subject: RE: Unix and Linux Books
Almost anything Published by O'reilly & Associates, Inc. I get
mine at the
local Barnes & Noble.
They are easy to spot, beacuse each one has a differnt animal on
the cover.
I hope this helps.
