Recommendations on my study path

i have a little background in C (2 sems in university), and have been studying the bash articles on tldp.org i just wanted to know what you guys recommend i look up next. i'm interested in the server administration side of linux, and in kernel and peripheral interface. so i'm not sure whether to take up mysql, php, go back to C, etc.

I would continue with shells, perl, sed & awk, and keep up the C language

I recommend you study PHP (and MySQL) if you are interested in Web Development.

thanks for the recommendations.

how about for the interface between the kernel/OS and peripherals, known and unknown? is C or some other low-level language needed, or can it be handled by shell scripting?
