May I also recommend:

"The Practice of System and Network Administration"
Thomas A. Limoncelli, Christine Hogan
Addison-Wesley, Paperback, Published August 2001, 774 pages, ISBN 0201702711


IMHO, this is a foundational book for the profession, and should be
read several times by each and every sysadmin, who should all possess
their own copies.
