Hello Ironmantis7x,
It's good to see someone who is passionate about Linux. You'll find
there are a significant number of resources available for information on
Linux.
Personally, I try to read the man pages whenever possible. One web site
that I found invaluable is The Linux Documentation project, at
http://www.tldp.org/
There are a number of well written documents there, which are all
available in a variety of formats.
I would recommend the following list from the site. Keep in mind the
order of the files is relative to the way I think they should best be
read, but feel free to mix and match as you see fit.
01. Introduction to Linux
02. Linux Dictionary
03. GNU Linux Tools Summary
04. Mobile Linux
05. Pocket Linux Guide
06. Bash Guide for Beginners
07. Advanced Bash Scripting Guide
08. Linux Filesystem Hierarchy
09. Linux System Administration Made Easy
10. Linux System Administrator's Guide
11. Linux Network Administrator's Guide
This is actually the way they are named on my system at the moment. I
recall a message a while back asking about Linux magazines, and meant to
send the list at the time. However, due to the demands of life, I
completely forgot the message.
When discussing books, there are a few titles that come to mind.
01. Essential System Administration: Tools and Techniques for Linux and
Unix Administration by AEleen Frisch
02. Managing NFS and NIS, Second Edition By Mike Eisler, Ricardo
Labiaga, Hal Stern
03. Using Samba, Third Edition A File & Print Server for Linux, Unix &
Mac OS X By Gerald Carter, Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein
04. Backup & Recovery Inexpensive Backup Solutions for Open Systems By
W. Curtis Preston
There are a plethora of other books available as well. These are the
ones that come immediately to mind for me, although I'm certain other
list members can also provide references to further reading material.
Hope this helps!
