Please recommend a good Unix or Linux book

I looking to broaden my knowledge in Unix/Linux. I have taken some basic classes in the past and tinkered a little with operating system at home..
What i am looking for is if someone could suggest a good book or class or both to help out. Looking at getting a Unix or Linux Certification. I work at night for a NOC, working on Unix and Windows Servers. My 2nd Level Unix support people didn't want to respond to my email, so I figured the forum was my best option.

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

NAME
irdaping - sends IrDA test frames SYNOPSIS
irdaping [ daddr ] [ -s framesize ] OPTIONS
daddr ... -s framesize ... DESCRIPTION
This is a program similar to ping(8). It sends IrDA test frames (added some userdata which contains the frame number and the time the frame was sent). You can change the size of the frame by using the -s option. To get daddr you may use irdadump. irdaping must be run as root or installed setuid root, as it requires root privileges. EXAMPLES
irdaping <daddr> [-s <framesize>] You may use an alias, which does not use any parameter alias irping="irdaping `grep daddr /proc/net/irda/discovery|sed s/.*daddr://`" It works fine when there is only one discovered client. DIAGNOSTICS
