Also of note:
o Appears all of the above are also available as eBook (Watermarked),
   though I didn't spot ISBN-10/ISBN-13 numbers for some of them (see the
   referenced URLs).
o Kyle Rankin is very active in NBLUG, and has also done
   talks/presentations at BALUG.
o this book:
   UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook, 4th Edition
   generally comes highly recommended - especially for those new(er) to
   UNIX and Linux systems administration, but probably also still a handy
   reference for those with up through at least intermediate levels of
   experience on any particular flavor of UNIX/Linux where they may find
   themselves doing systems adminstration.
