Well... I have stayed out of this for the time being, but came up with
some books I think are jewels:
1 - A Practical Guide to the Unix System: Sobell (3rd Ed.)
2 - Linux (Unix) System Administration Handbook: Nemeth, Snyder, et. al
3 - Unix Power Tools: Peek, O; Reilly, Loukides
4 - The Linux Handbook

Most of these _ARE_ Unix, but the similarities between the two is very
close so you can fake it till you make it.
