Unix/Linux Books

Bah dont bother with spending money on books (unless you find some 90's sco unix books as they were always pretty interesting when i was younger,... well my dad had them from back in the day sco oporated in the uk)

My actuall advise is get your self a second pc (spare anything with generic hardware) and set it up in the corner. Get your self Linux from scratch or Gentoo off the internet and learn from actually using them :)

Gentoo is really well documented and is a good way to get your self into it with a lot of help (but theres a few distro specific methods within it like emerge).

Linux from scratch is mroe or less a method of doing linux without a distro (hard to explain and hard to do) but it has the merrits of showing you more or less pure linux.

Eitherway give them both a bash before you try to read a book on it (it'll make minimal sense without having a play on the pc) :D

If you want books try:

Linux in a Nutshell by O'Reilly (The famous book store that's like eBay sell it for 20p ex. delivery)

Linux for Dummies looks okay, from what I know the * for Dummies books aren't bad and I would recommend books as I'm sure you might wanna revise while traveling or away from the computer with spare time.

As the other guy said, if you have a spare laptop or computer you could setup, nothing powerful and use it for playing with distros and such. You could probably throw one together with spare parts.
