I would like anyone who has read/heard/own any linux books to make some suggestions as to what are the MUST HAVE books for newcomers to linux. I'm sure this could be very helpful to people just coming into the Linux world. Here are my personal suggestions:
LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell (O'Reilly Press) - Granted, this book is for study in the LPI Certification exams, however, it is much more useful then that. This books takes you chapter by chapter through each part of the linux operating systems, including practice tests, great summaries, and the quality we all expect from an O'Reilly book. I'm still in the process of reading this book, however, I have learned a lot of things that I never heard of before from anywhere else. There is not bias in this book for any particular distribution, it treats them all equally. Learning Linux, 3rd Edition (O'Reilly Press) - An excellent book for the linux newcomer. This books very basic stuff with Linux systems, as well as a few things things that even the expert can learn from. An all round perfect book, any my suggestion for the MUST HAVE linux book. Anyone else? -------------------- Corey Quilliam

i would suggest most of the "Sams" books for sure. I started with "Sams-Teach Yourself Red Hat Linux in 24 hrs." Once you've surpassed newbie (and even if you haven't) i am going to push "Maximum Linux Security" as a must have for anyone wanting to know about the linux world outside the personal work station. It has great tips that will help you when installing and partitioning your hard drive.
