Book Suggestions? Please

[Shanksta]

Hi,

I was recently "put in charge" of putting up a new server in my dad's office and obviously Linux is the way to go. I was wondering if you guys had any good recomendations for books that teach how to install a basic linux server for a small office.

Basically has to deal with: Mail Servers, File Management, Firewall, Samba, and hopefully web hosting.

If you know of any good books please give me your suggestions, I'm lost with all these Linux books and want to get a good one.

Thanks

I'm a big fan of any book made by O'Reilly. For linux, I've found "Running Linux" to be very good for teaching you basic installation and "Linux Network Administrator's Guide" for basic installation of network services. If you need a less out of the box solution I suggest reading installation guides on the web or buying the speciffic O'Reilly books made for the services you are administering (they have books on Sendmail, MySQl, Apache, etc.).
