One of the best small books with very simple stuff is the APN booklet that came out with the Linux CD.

I think the best general purpose Linux book is Running Linux (O'Reilly about $59 at booksellers).

A good more detail type book is Linux Unleashed or Red Hat Linux Unleased by a guy with an Indian sounding name (Nabi Barkala or something like that).

Other than those, many of the books are very similar and very superficial. Many of them (O'Reilly included) are often rehashes of LDP output or man pages or How to's etc.

You could do worse than print out the on-line documentation and the LDP output.

Thats my $0.02 worth anyway
