Running Linux by O'Reilly is a nice overview of everything, but won't 
last particularly long once you've scratched the surface.  It's a good 
first point of contact for most things Linux related.  Once you're comfy 
with the details in this book, you're probably ready for Linux 
Documentation Project documents (http://tldp.org) and man pages.
