I am just starting my career in unix and need to know and learn all that I can, I have been giving a chance at my imployment to adminastrat the unix server and have already crashed it. So i need to find anything on what not to do.

I recommend <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565923901/silkroadcom">Learning the Unix Operating System, 4th Edition</A> or <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565920015/silkroadcom">Unix in a Nutshell: System V Edition, 3rd Edition</A>.

Both are published by O'Reilly.
