Product: UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook

I call this book the Unix bible. I got this book (third edition) 13 years ago and read it pretty much cover to cover in a few weeks. Even 13 years later I still refer to it every now and then, and I always find something new. This book is a true classic and pretty much the only general Unix sysadmin book you will ever need. If you’re just starting with Unix and Linux, then this is the book to get. At over 1000 pages, it’s packed with tons of useful information and not only you’ll become a Unix expert, but also add a ton of points to your geekiness levels. I remember how I spent several nights setting up my own caching bind server after reading the chapter on DNS. Fun times!

I’ve placed this book #12 in my Top 100 Programming, Computer and Science books list:
