I have done a little research on what book to buy for RHL that will take 
you from a rookie to a professional level and came up with this:

Linux in a Nutshell 3rd Ed - some say it's good as it has crammed down all 
the man's in a book and some say it's bad for the same darn reason as they 
say that this book has got nothing more than the man pages cramming down in 
one place.

Running Linux by Matt Welsh - not for newbies and not for home users. But 
an excellent book (for pros and net admins?)

Essential System Administration - they said it is the "first book to buy 
for your personal library". Good overall.

Peter Norton's Complete Guide to Linux - I personally used it. It doesn't 
go in-depth on anything. But whatever it describes it does it in plain 
simple English.

Among the 4 books I have one and is willing to buy some other. My 
criterion: describe everything esp for RHL from A-Z in understandable 
English. Someone said that I can buy Nutshell. Is it worth buying? If not, 
which one is? Any book other than list four would also be evaluated.
