There are all sorts of manuals and books that will claim to take you to the
state of being a linux guru. In my experience there is no one source.
The first purchase I made after going the unix route (NetBSD) was Essential
System Administration by Aileen Frisch. It's pretty good. I also got hold
of the BSD 4.4 User's Reference manual and System Administrator's manual.
The FAQs are also worth reading for linux as well as the packages that you
may install. (/usr/share/doc ;o) ) I found the FAQs that came with
various Amiga distributions both informative as well as non-machine
specific.
The point is I think you will have to attempt several different sources -
also, hopefully, have access to someone who knows the subject <sigh>
sounds hard doesn't it?
It's rewarding though and does start to make sense after a while.
Good luck
