Hi All,
I've been using a variety of Linux distros as my home desktop for years, but never really got under the hood. Can any of you recommend any good new(ish) books on Linux Administration for beginners? When I say beginners I don't mean to imply that I'm afraid of the command line and my google foo seems OK, but that I have no experience administering any computer systems so I'm perfectly willing to read material that would bore all but the newest newbie to gain better understanding. I will admit that I find most man pages daunting and I think that's because I don't have an understanding of the underlying system.
