"Linux Unleashed" is good _only_ if you can get it cheap and use it for
firewood. Burns romanically, with pretty colors from the inks. 8^)
Beyond that, as a reference source, the man pages are far more helpful
and better organized.
My suggestions would be:
1. "Running Linux" by Matt Welsh & Lar Kaufman (O'Reilly & Associates)
2. "Linux Secrets" by Naba Barkabati
3. Any of the several Linux books published by O'Reilly & Associates.
A good starting place is to take a look at <www.ora.com>, O'Reilly's
home page.
Best!
