Best Linux Security Books?

RyuMaou asks: "I'm about to move a small company from an old, ailing Windows server to some flavor of Linux and I want to make sure they're proprietary information is safe. Here's the problem: I've only run Linux as an application server, behind the firewall, in a Novell environment. Time is short and I have limited resources and want to read at least one really great book on Linux security, then follow that up with some good reinforcement. I know the information is mostly available on the Internet for free, but I like reading actual books, not printouts. So, if you had to pick five books, or fewer, on Linux security, what would you read?"

    The current slashbot cheer is "use Ubuntu!"

    Example usage:

    Your mom: "When are you going to move out of our basement so your dad and I can build a sex dungeon down there?"

    You: "Use Ubuntu!"

    You're on the right track, though. This article had absolutely nothing to do with distribution selection and yet you felt compelled to get out your pom-poms and cheer for the flavor of the month. The only thing you did wrong was select last month's flavor.

    Kudos to you, slashbot. Keep reaching for that rainbow!
