Look for "Essential System Administration" or whatever. Pick up a Perl book, maybe sendmail if you're into that, maybe "DNS and Bind". Don't overlook books on X. (O'Reilly has some of these -- slightly dated, but what isn't). Look through the Nutshell series. from other places, look for W.R. Stevens, (any title), especially "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment", "Unix Network Programming" (2nd edition!), and his stuff on the TCP protocol, whose title(s) I can't recall. Oh, yeah -- get Greg Lehey's book, the one he spams (just joking!) on this list all the time. (The Complete FreeBSD). I imagine Walnut Creek sells it. The F.S.F sells some bound versions of documentation for gcc, gdb and certain other GNU utilities.
