Next _Unix_System_Administration_Handbook_ (Nemeth, Seebass, and Snyder from Prentice-Hall) -- this is especially important since Derek will be administering his own machine. Finally I'd suggest O'Reilly's When_You_Can't_Find_ _Your_UNIX_System_Administrator_ (Linda Mui). You can find more info about these publishers via the web (I use lynx) at: http://www.ora.com O'Reilly Associates http://www.aw.com Addison-Wesley http://www.viacom.com (Apparently owns Prentice-Hall and Simon & Schuster) (this last site is so lynx unfriendly I'll probably never visit it again, Yuck!)
