Free Linux E-books

Want to upgrade your Linux skills, but you don't want to spend tons of $$$. Of course, you can surf the Net and read the different web sites and knowledge bases about Linux. But nothing beats a good (e-) book to give you a systematic treatment on a specific topic.

I found a web site, http://freebooks.homelinux.org/ that lists free e-books on Linux. There are quite a few gems on this list, albeit some are a little out-dated. The web site has become so popular that the site administrator had to put a limit on it: you can only download at most 10 e-books per day.

For example, you can download this free e-book published by O'Reilly, http://freebooks.homelinux.org/download.php?OS.Linux.Server.Hacks.OReilly.pdf.pdf. It contains 100 hacks/tips for Linux system administrators. Just last week, I started reading Volume 2 of this book (not free) and found it to be very helpful. I was overjoyed when I discovered that Volume 1 is being offered as a free book. It did not disappoint me.
