General administration, networking, special services (Apache, SSH, Samba, Tomcat, NFS, ...), storage, database, ...? Or day-to-day usage? There are a lot of administration fields out there, and documents useful for one type can be completely useless for another.
Again, you'll have to be more specific. You didn't even tell us what kind of documentation you need. How-Tos? Tutorials? Command references? Technical documentation? Tailored for a specific distribution (who usually provide a lot of docs on the respective web pages) or generalized?

The administration functionality is also accessible through the AnswerBook2 Admin option within the System_Admin subset of the Application
Manager function on the CDE front panel Applications menu.
If you need an AnswerBook2 server, you can download the AnswerBook2 server software from http://www.sun.com.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-h Displays a usage statement.
USAGE
At startup time, answerbook2_admin starts up the default web browser (for example, Mozilla) and displays the URL specified for administer-
ing the local AnswerBook2 server (http://localhost:8888). If the user has set up administration access control, the web browser prompts for
a valid administrator login and password for this document server before displaying the administration tool.
