[TriLUG] OT: Linux/UNIX book recommendations needed

[Jason Tower]

the books from red hat press are very good, particularly "networking and 
system administation".  they are biased towards RH of course, but excellent 
texts nevertheless.

i'd also suggest a good book on [bash|shell] scripting, which is important on 
all *nixes.  o'reilly is probably the best bet.
