[ale] Advice on System Admin Books

[ryan at toast.wildfyre.com]

One book that I always reccomend to people is Running Linux by O'Reilly.
It gives you a basic knowledge for doing any administrative things you
could want.  I don't know of any really outstanding books for networking.
I learned all of my networking from HOWTOs.
