[Discuss] Linux book

[aldo albanese]

Hi,
I would like a suggestion for a Linux book.  I follow this group for a little while and I would like to learn more about Linux.  I'm not looking for a specific OS but for a book that does not get me to sleep, goes thru the command lines, compiling the kernel.  Ideally a book that is hard copy but has also a book in PDF.  The one that I'm trying to read is specific to Linux exam, it goes all over the place with the topics, very confusing and boring.     

Thanks,
Aldo
