Recommended Ubuntu Server Reading
Hello All - my first post so be kind

I am a Windows man traditionally and making the journey into the LAMP world, so far I have been spending most of my recent months in the AMP area, and have now leased a dedicated server running Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS.
Spent the last 4 days finding my way round, luckily Unbuntu and the LAMP software I want to use is already pre configured.
My background at work is purely Microsoft.
I have ordered "The Official Ubuntu Book" so I can learn at a steady pace and obviously been Googling and picking up snippets where I have needed.
Although before my book arrives I wanted to do some reading from the WWW.
Has anyone got any recommended links to some good Unbuntu reading that can give me a step by step guide to common administration and configuration tasks that I should and need to understand before I start making all the common Newbie errors and leading myself into a pit of frustration?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums!
I'm not sure if any of these will be Ubuntu related, but they are Linux related:
