I have really enjoyed reading parts of "A Practical Guide to Linux" by Mark G. 
Sobell.  ISBN for my copy from 1999 is:  0-201-89549-8

or if you trust me *wink*:

Even has a foreword by Linux Torvalds.

After reading it, it's worth keeping around as a reference.  I preferred it to 
the O'Reilly books "Linux in a Nutshell" and "Running Linux", both of which 
I've owned/read.  I just found it more easily readable and better organized.
