Hi Michael:

I teach an administration course using the _Red Hat Linux Bible_ by
Christopher Negus (there's a Fedora and Enterprise edition).  If you have
little bandwidth, this is a nice book because it includes the Fedora Core 1
installation CD's to get you running.  There's a lot here, and while no
topic is exhaustive, the author gives you enough to start and good pointers
on where to go to learn more.  His examples are simple, but practical, and
you can use them as a starting point.

The O'Reilly Nutshell books are also good, but I use them more as reference
materials than tutorials, as I think someone mentioned.  Use those when you
are comfortable that you know the basics.

Erik
