More Assistance Elsewhere

Most of what I've learned with Linux, BSD, and now Solaris I've learned in one of three ways: reading about it, trial and error, finding help through google, forums, or IRC. Books are great, because they teach you things you don't know you should know. I've gotten books from the "For dummies" series, the "Head First" series, the "Learn in 24 hours" series, and the "Bible" series. By far, the easiest to use, most instructive, and most helpful has been the Bible series. For working with Solaris, OpenSolaris Bible has been my number one reference. Its worth the money, because its a great resource to use elsewhere as well.
