Finished!
Late yesterday I finished proofing that last of the three books in my Using and Administering Linux: Zero to SysAdmin series.
Although there may be a few more email discussions to clarify various notes I made on the proofs, for me, this project is essentially done. It has taken almost two years from my initial conception of the Linux self-study course that grew into this three-volume set.
As far as I can tell, we are still on track to have all three volumes published before the end of the year.
If you are interested in learning to be a Linux system administrator, this is the self-study course for you. I hope you will check it out. The link above takes you to my page for all three volumes which has links to Apress and Amazon where they can be purchased.

The Linux Philosophy for SysAdmins, Tenet 22—Mentor the young SysAdmins
When I first started, I was a young and innocent SysAdmin. I was fortunate because I worked at a couple different jobs where other, seasoned SysAdmins were willing to mentor me and encourage me. None of them laughed at me when I asked what must have seemed to them to have answers that were blindingly obvious. None of these patient SysAdmins ever told me to RTFM.
