Once you've gone through a book that gets you started, or if you have a
working knowledge of how to *use* a Unix system -- you can get around
the fs, run some commands, get stuff done -- the best book I've found to
answer the questions you've asked (and some other good questions you
didn't ask, but will later) is Essential System Administration, by
�leen Frisch (yep, another O'Reilly book...).
