I just wanted whatever input you guys cared to send my way on some books I
am thinking of getting. I am transitioning from a Windows NT administrator
(I know, I know!) to a Unix/Linux administrator (Hey, I eventually came
around), so I am not starting from scratch but I am unfamiliar with Unix and
Linux except on a basic level. I would appreciate any help you could give.
It's just that there is such a large selection of books that I am having
trouble choosing, although I am not averse to buying more than one book on a
subject. And for those interested, yes I already have searched the archives
on MoonGroup. What I am interested in is your impressions of the books as
experienced users who can now look back and evaluate what they needed. Also
I know that one or two of the books are on a distro other than redhat, I
will possibly be supporting them so any comments would be helpful, or at
least comments on the redhat versions in the same series(* Unleashed, Using
* Special Edition, etc.). Thanks
in advance to everyone for your help and your patience.
