I also found another great book - I beleive it's been called The Red Book. It's title is Unix System Administration. It's absolutely brilliant, with insights into how Unix really works, with a healthy dose of humour. It's written mainly by Evi Nemeth if I remember correctly. Beg, borrow or steal, this book is worth getting. Hope this is useful, - -Taff.
