Weirdly enough I remembered the author's first name... that and the topic
was enough to stick it on the top of Amazon.com's list:

Linux Administration: A Beginner's Guide by Steve Shah

Amazon.com
Administering a Linux system isn't much like administering a Windows
machine. Though the goals are similar and comparable problems arise under
both environments, they each require administrators to adopt a certain way
of thinking about processes and data. Linux Administration: A Beginner's
Guide helps readers adapt their Windows experience to Linux work.


This is a newer edition than I last one looked at. Average rating of 4 1/2
