"Linux Installation, configuration and use" by Michael Kofler is very 
good for new linux users... or it was in the days of rh 6.0.  Not /too/ 
much in it has changed, but the user interface stuff is now very dated. 
  If there is a recent revision then I would almost recommend it without 
seeing it.  He doesn't go into server territory, but what he does cover 
is very well done.  He assumes no knowledge but doesn't treat the user 
like an idiot who isn't capable of mastering the more complex topics.

If anyone comes across a second hand copy then it would still be very 
handy for a anyone who wants to get on top of the command line.
