Linux O'Reilly books

[D. Cheah]

Actually I have this book sitting on my bookshelf. Its a good book
which has various recipes on how to use the various power tools in 
unix i.e sed, awk, regex, bash, tcsh and others. It's meant for all
flavors of unix.

A good book sys admin book by o'reilly is 'essential system
administration' i.e armadillo book. its main problem is that it is pretty
dated and not linux specific. 'running linux' is definitely a good choice,
followed by 'linux in a nutshell'. I would hold off  buying 'linux in a
nutshell' because the 3rd edition should be available real soon now. 

hope this helps,

Daniel.
