I have been hacking around on UNIX servers for a while now, I love Debian, its a great server OS. But I feel like I don't really grasp the entire system and overall environment of UNIX.
More and more, server maintenance and configuration is becoming a bigger part of my life and I am looking for some great book recommendations.
Keep in mind, I'd prefer a book that talks about Debian or Ubuntu as its primary example environment. I am not fond of CentOS/Redhat/Fedora.
Any Suggestions? Thanks!
This is much the same question as 'What are good linux/unix books for an advancing user'. Take a look at the suggestions there - bear in mind that most unix literature is quite portable across different versions.
With regards to Ubuntu and Linux in general, a good book:
All the best
The Unix Programming Environment by Kernighan and Pike is an excellent introduction to, for want of a better phrase, 'the Unix philosophy'.
It's rather old now, but it's brilliant as an introduction and much more. I wrote a more comprehensive review on my blog: http://www.dr-jan.com/tips/2006/12/08/the-unix-programming-environment/
