[Gllug] Linux books

[Elliot Moore]

An elderly friend of mine wishes to learn a bit more about his media  
server (Debian Linux) he has at home.
I think he wants to build a new machine to replace the old one and  
learn a but more in his new found spare time.
So, since he has a Debian box already, I thought Ubuntu would be a  
good sidestep, and this looks like a reasonable book: http://www.amazon.com/Official-Ubuntu-Book-Benjamin-Mako/dp/0132435942

Other more generic books I had in mind were: The Linux Administration  
Handbook & Linux in a Nutshell.

I was wondering if any GLLUGers can recommend a decent starters book  
for linux that provides a understandable guide for install and  
operation?
I'm not to bothered about the flavour, suse or fedora will do if you  
know of a worthwhile accompanying book.
