    There are several good resources if you search amazon but I think that the first thing you should do is read a practical guide to linux, linux administration a beginners guide and a LPIC book. I think that you should try to gain a firm foundation and understanding of linux and then branch out into interesting topics.

    I agree with BR. The Practical guide to Linux by Mark Sobell second edition hasn't steered me wrong yet. It starts out with the basics and slowly raises the difficulties of tasks that may be performed by a Linux administrator or general super user of just about any Linux distribution. It's all encompassing and overall easy to read!

    CentOS offers a deployment guide on its home page. That's a nice starting point.
    Sobell's book on RH/Fedora is also one awesome piece of Linux literature.
    Good luck on your Linux journey! :D

    Linux System Administration Handbook, ( probs the best book on linux :)

    And if you can afford it the dedicated server handbook is another good read

    Although not a book, the installation is pretty well documented and there is a helpful. mailing list. I'd recommend Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch. You start with a working system, like CentOS, set aside a partition or disk and start to build. You will add packages until you have a bootable, bare-bones system, and then continue to build on it. Very good learning tool.
