Hello everyone, I recently just joined this group (like an hour ago) because
I was posting on a forum about wanting to learn Unix/Linux and a passerby
who decided to be nosy recommended me to sign up.

I would like to learn as much as I can and eventually get some certificates
for Linux and Unix (Windows-administration is *way* too easy.) What would be
the top three-five books recommended for reading?

I did look on the website and learned about Maricopa's college and will
probably go there for a degree eventually, but I perfer my own pace and
practice.

Thanks ahead of time, I look forward to reading more on all the Linux
discussions. I live in the east valley and will probably start attending the
meetings as well!
