Linux Administration Handbook, Nemeth, Snyder and Hein is
the standard Linux Admin manual.  All Sys Admins I know use
this book, and with the minimal administration I have done,
this book has had all the answers.  It covers all Sys
Admin's general tasks from adding peripherals, to security,
to shell programming.

My two main books are:

  Linux Administration Handbook by Nemeth, Snyder and Hein (Prentice Hall)
  Maximum Linux Security by Anonymous (SAMS)

I also find myself often reaching for:

  The Linux Problem Solver by Ward (No Starch Press)
