See the Linux Documentation Project (LDP),
eg ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/LDP
(This is included in all Linux CD-ROMs I have seen.
I think it is also included in the Slackware distribution,
probably in diskettes 'y'.)

Among the books in the LDP you will find
"Linux Installation and Getting Started",
"Linux Network Administrators Guide",
"Linux Users Guide",
"Linux Kernel Hackers Guide".
All these are excellent.
