Hello Ironmantis7x, It's good to see someone who is passionate about Linux. You'll find there are a significant number of resources available for information on Linux.
Personally, I try to read the man pages whenever possible. One web site that I found invaluable is The Linux Documentation project, at http://www.tldp.org/ There are a number of well written documents there, which are all available in a variety of formats. I would recommend the following list from the site. Keep in mind the order of the files is relative to the way I think they should best be read, but feel free to mix and match as you see fit. 01. Introduction to Linux 02. Linux Dictionary 03. GNU Linux Tools Summary 04. Mobile Linux 05. Pocket Linux Guide 06. Bash Guide for Beginners 07. Advanced Bash Scripting Guide 08. Linux Filesystem Hierarchy 09. Linux System Administration Made Easy 10. Linux System Administrator's Guide 11. Linux Network Administrator's Guide This is actually the way they are named on my system at the moment. I recall a message a while back asking about Linux magazines, and meant to send the list at the time. However, due to the demands of life, I completely forgot the message. When discussing books, there are a few titles that come to mind. 01. Essential System Administration: Tools and Techniques for Linux and Unix Administration by AEleen Frisch 02. Managing NFS and NIS, Second Edition By Mike Eisler, Ricardo Labiaga, Hal Stern 03. Using Samba, Third Edition A File & Print Server for Linux, Unix & Mac OS X By Gerald Carter, Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein 04. Backup & Recovery Inexpensive Backup Solutions for Open Systems By W. Curtis Preston There are a plethora of other books available as well. These are the ones that come immediately to mind for me, although I'm certain other list members can also provide references to further reading material. Hope this helps!
