I recommend Practical guide to Ubuntu Linux, 2nd ed. to all interested in understanding and running the Ubuntu Linux on their home, school or work machines.

It is written by Mark Sobell whose book on Linux Commands, Editors and Shell Programming is one of my favorite IT titles of all.

Book covers all topics you can think of - from a novice tutorial on the guided installation of the system to intermediate/advanced tasks such as shell scripting and installation of the server components such as Apache, DNS or mail server.

Specifically, subjects covered are:

Installation, overview of Linux, Linux file system, the shell and shell programming, utilities, networking, remote access, printing, server components, building the kernel, …

Appendices are excellent. There is Appendix on regular expressions, security, finding help, free software.

Books is most suitable for beginners and intermediate users.
