"I was hoping to extend my knowledge on Linux, Ubuntu, Open source, and wanted to find some books somewhere between "Linux for dummies" & Coding. I know about the BIOS,CMOS, CPU, etc. but I wanted deeper knowledge on Linux. Yes, I still read paper books;"
One of the best Linux self-education books I've ever read is 'Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook' http://www.admin.com/ It's not just informative but also well written and dare I say, generally enjoyable to read. Librenix.com was a fantastic site that had great tutorials for doing just about anything with Linux, but it seems to not exist anymore. Now it's for some MMO game. https://www.howtoforge.com/ is a comparable site. HTH.
