[Cialug] New Linux User orientation?

[David Champion]

It's been a long time since I've looked at Linux books. The O'Reilly 
"Running Linux" book by Matt Welsh used to be a pretty good beginner's 
book, I haven't seen the latest edition, so I don't know how up to date 
it is:

Another more advanced book I used as a reference a lot early on was 
"Essential System Administration":
