"Linux System Administrator's Survival Guide" by Tim Parker, SAMS Publishing, is about the best book I have found. Regarding the previous post about books by-women-for-women: I've never read the book mentioned, but I do agree about the difference in learning styles, and IMHO, the "Man" pages are just that, pages for "MEN"! For at least, I'd say 40% of the time, a man page search only tells me what the flags mean, and doesn't really explain how to best use the command. Just my take on it.
Okay, I don't read the paper everyday either.
Should I pay a cent for every newspaper ad I didn't see????
Why not make everyone pay a penny for every billboard in the nation they DON'T happen to drive by?
Puh-LEEZE!!!! Crock!!!
