Yes, very funny. I hadn't thought to specify, but actually recommendations
on both would be nice. Looking at some sample exams I think I could be
COMPTIA A+ certified in a couple months, so that would be where I want to
start.
I just wanted to find a platform neutral book instead of buying the study
pack from Microsoft Publications. I already know far too much about Win
3.1, 95, 98, ME, m-o-u-s-e...
Linux networking is the next step. I will check out your (chris')
recommendation, most appreciated.

I'm not sure if you're going for COMPTIA's A+ Certification or you mean A+
as
in "doubleplusgood".
If you mean the former, sorry, can't help you. If you mean the latter, then
read Linux Network Administrator's Guide. There's a mirror at:
http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/zdv/projekte/linux/books/nag/nag.html
It begins with basic TCP/IP and Ethernet networks and goes on to cover lots
of stuff including, NFS and SAMBA.
