There are thousands of books. I´ve always liked O´reillys though.

Don´t know if they have one of those "linux bible" books. But that is something to look for as well. /Sören

Hi,

There are a number of 'free' online books on linux at

http://www.informit.com/free_librar...ion_id={CCF8850B-C9B0-4D8D-9E1E-212D6D9AFB55}

. If this doesn't work for you just go to

http://www.informit.com

and navigate from there.

Most of those books are around two years old so they're not bang up-to-date. However, they are still largely valid. For hard copy, my personal fave is the SAMS 'Redhat Linux Unleashed' book which happens also to be in the above library. However, that book is obviously oriented around redhat's distribution of linux and may not be the best choice if you end up using debian or another non-redhat based distro.

Dear Charu,
I would suggest you to go and see the HOWTO"s
at

http://www.justlinux.com.They

have a good store of howto's.If
you want to search something you can go at

http://www.linuxstart.com.

Oreilly's book are very good especially the networking one
i.e Network Administrator's Guide.
Start from RedHat Linux 6.2 that is stable and then you
can catch up with higher versions
You can catch up some mailing lists one of them is the

http://www.vger.kernel.org.You

can go there and check out.

Good Luck!!!!
