Classic Unix Book

A good book to cover the basics and intermediate stuff about being a Unix admin. It covers adding users to the system, backingup and restoring, security, X-Windows, printer queues, keeping your eye on disk space and job management. It gets into some Kernal tweaking, startup/shutdown scripts (for AIX, System V, BSD), diskless booting, and entire chapter on the file system, backup and restores, users admin, sendmail, terminals, system auditing and tuning.
