Look for "Running Linux" by Matt Welsh -- pub. by O'Reilly & Associates.

Also look for "A Practical Guide to Linux" by M. Sobell.  Addison-Wesley.
This one is brand new and *very* comprehensive.  I've been looking at it in
the bookstore and it looks to me like the best linux book yet.  Also check
out http://www.sobbell.com (I may have the name spelled slightly wrong)
