Linux Companion for System Administrators is a book for anyone who wants to get more out of their Linux box.

where to find documentation)
common features of the most widely used distributions of Linux
basic system configuration: booting, kernel compilation user

configuration
networking with Linux:TCP/IP-basics, IPX, SMB and useful tools
When applicable: Emacs tools for the tasks.
