Hi,

There are many books and in this day and age you can find much on line.
 To really be helpful you need to provide some information as to what
are your needs.  From my perspective I would suggest that you need some
knowledge in the following areas.

*. Most people gain some knowledge of Shell programing. The original
shell under Unix was the Bourne Shell.  The classic text was written by
Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike of ATT Labs.  Descendants of that are
either the Korn shell or Bash.

*. in order to function you will need to be able to function with an
editor.  Most people function well with either vi (currently Vim) or
Emacs.  The choice is a personal preference.  You should know that there
are many editors out there.  These two are probably the best known.

*. You will probably have to do some system administration if you run
your own system at home.  O'Reilly has published some really good books
for Linux.  Here are a few suggestions.

1. Linux Cookbook,Practical advice for Linux users and system
administrators.  Carla Schroder, O'Reilly and Associates, Inc.

2. Learning the Bash Shell, Cameron Neuham and Bill Rosenblatt O'Reilly
and Associates, Inc.

3. The Kornshell, Command and Programing language
Morris I. Bolsky, David G. Korn. Prentice Hall Publications.

I hope this helps.
retards,
Andrew
