Linux Book recommendation?

What would be the best beginner Linux reference to learn command line and learn the whole Linux operating system minus programming? Can anyone recommend me some good books to learn command line and Linux. Essentially the topics I’m interested in is:
-command line
– installing and removing tar gz, deb ect – learning administration of Linux server
– learning networking and most common networking task and commands
Let me know
thanks!

If you are going to be administering Linux servers; I would stay away from documentation tailored specifically for Ubuntu, as there are very few of these out there. I recommend sticking to RHEL (CentOS) or Debian focused material (or just Linux in general).
Also, while a read through can be helpful, what you need is a command line. Install Linux on a VM, like Oracle VM VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation and stat bashing. If you are having trouble finding ISO’s, just use this one:
http://eq-centosrepo.hopto.org/6.3/isos/i386/CentOS-6.3-i386-minimal.iso
Any time you need to know about a command, just type ‘man command’; and when you don’t know what command to use, just type in Google ‘linux how to untar a file’ and you will get an answer.
If you get too lost, you should hit us up in IRC…
