| Which books for system administration ? I am on a quest to consolidate my web presence into a few domains all hosted in-house on a dedicated DSL with a static IP. My domains are all quite low traffic so from what I've learned over the past few weeks my Dell (sig) should do the trick just fine. My critical services are email (IMAP, not POP3), Apache (with SSL), MySQL and anonymous FTP (and maybe in time some other servers like IRC, MUSH, QTSS, whatever). My Apache and MySQL skills are pretty solid, my email knowledge is virtually non-existant. Also, though I'm versed enough in linux operation to harden a server to my satisfaction, of course, I don't know what I don't know. Running, at least for the moment, Slackware 10, what book(s) would you all recommend for my situation ? I also don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for several books if I can at all avoid it. I'm thinking O'Reilly ?

| get the "unix system administration handbook" by nemeth/snyder/seebass. I think the current version has a purple cover on it. It's probably the best general sysadmin book ever made. Brian

| This one ? / newer version of this. Since I'm using Slackware, will this book, shall we say, port well to BSD-esque Linuxes as Slack likes to (try to) be ? I'm not familiar enough with BSD to know if there's a serious difference (again with the not knowing what I don't know)...
