Hmm - You don't need too much Red Hat specific stuff. What you need right
now is Unix basics. The Red Hat specifics are available through this
mailing list - but most of what you are going to be doing is relatively
'generic' Unix.

So, take a wander to your computer bookshop (or fire up MS Win one last
time and go to http://www.ora.com) and browse the excelent O'Reilly and
Associates books.

What I suggest you buy straight off is 'Unix in a nutshell' and 'Essential
System Administration (2nd Edition, which includes coverage of Linux).

You may also find 'TCP/IP Network Administration' to be of use.

Once you have digested these (and watched this list for a while) you will
be ready to start on some of the other books.

Happy Linuxing!
