    Welcome to the forums!

    The networking books published by O'Reilly are usually considered to be good reference material. Some of them might be available online in html or pdf format.

    I found HowToForge to be very helpful for this kind of thing. Very good for step by step instructions. I have only used Debian Linux, so I can't say if your distro is covered.

    Anyways, I'm certainly no expert, if there are any concerns with HowToForge, maybe one of the mods can mention it.

    We all, I hope, realize that "Networking Like a Pro" is a red herring. Its subject matter is personal "networking" not computer networking.

    GUIs are fairly consistent among distributions, but there are variations. Most technical books are a pain when you're starting up with the penguin.
    Documentation in your specific Distro should make things easier.
    However, this: Linux Online - Free Online Books has something you may find useful.
    Again, Distro specific Howto's is a better option.

    pd. Also here: Free Linux Books - Linux Network Administrator's Guide - Linux Network Administrators Guide

    Another book

    I have found O'Reilly's Linux Cookbook by Carla Schroder useful again and again. It has simple recipes for most of the useful things you need to do and seems accurate for lots of different distros, too.
