For UNIX novices willing to read, I strongly recomment _UNIX System Administration Handbook_ (http://www.amazon.com/UNIX-System-Administration-Handbook-3rd/dp/0130206016/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271073058&sr=1-1). My version, now out of date, covers Solaris, HP-UX, Red Hat, and FreeBSD. It's very readable, and while it doesn't cover everything it teaches enough (including some "how" and "why" to be able to figure things out from the man pages or third-party documentation.
