I'll add to the great recomendations above, a general unix text: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0130206016/102-8346184-2108114?v=3Dglance&= n=3D283155&n=3D507846&s=3Dbooks&v=3Dglance which covers all Unix in great depth. And maybe start off with something like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596002610/102-8346184-2108114?v=3Dglance&= n=3D283155&s=3Dbooks&v=3Dglance which would be a good general introduction.
