Hi Adam.

I'm not sure of whether you're looking for online resources or
tree-ware.

Online there exists the Linux documentation Project which has several
guide books on various topics.  Go to http://www.tldp.org/guides.html
and look for the The Linux Network Administrator's Guide, Second
Edition.  It's getting a bit old with the last update in March 2000, but
has a wealth of general network information.

For security there is also the Linux Administrator's Security Guide at
http://www.seifried.org/lasg/  However, it appears incomplete, but may
well have a lot of the information you're looking for.

If you are using Debian, there are a number of manuals available at
http://www.debian.org/doc/ that may also help with other distributions
as well.

Don't overlook the HOWTOs most likely installed with your base
distribution or the latest versions can be found at
http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto  These are generally task specific
documents that focus on configuring some aspect of your system in a
general way.

If you prefer tree-ware, you can do worse than the O'Reilly books
available at Borders, B&N, etc.
