Chris,

I mainly lurk here too!

I can't recommend a book, but I can recommend Google as a way of solving 
most problems with Linux. There is an absolute wealth of information out 
there. The trick is how to find exactly what you want amongst the many 
hits you will get.


Keep trying slightly different search strings, and sooner or later you 
will hit gold!

Good luck.
