I've learned system administration way back (of course, I do flatter
myself by thinking what I'm saying ;-) and still I keep learning new
things all the time when I'm doing my job. Unix system administration book
was a big thing (big step after computer science degree I got some time
before); TrinityOS: a guide to configuring your Linux server for
performance, security and manageability by David A. Ranch was a big step I
can remember from way back. And after you got the basis, keep challenging
yourself by doing new things. Of course, there are a bunch of other more
specialized books... Not that I consider I mastered this craft, but I
hopefully maintain my boxes so that they are secure...
