Learn as Linux Administrator

[numberwhun at hotmail.com (Numberwhun *****)]

I completely agree with the 'barney' book.  It has proved itself a good 
addition to my library.  Also, I would get the "Linux in a Nutshell" from 
O'Reilly.
Just as a note, you may want to check out your local, small business 
computer shop for cheap computers.  I have one near where I live that has a 
stack of p-133 barebones computers for $25.  Just add a couple of items and 
off you go.  You can find cheap, older computers pretty easily.  One of the 
computers I presently run Linux on is a p-100.
