Books or links ( URGENT)

I know linux is OS and have experience in installing linux. Nothing else.
I want to know more so that I can be linux administrator. I want to know the installing, configuring and administering of server of web, ftp, dns, email, samba, nfs, proxy, firewall, ldap and kernel system...etc. All internet and intranet features of linux in intermediate level.
Are there any good books and links are suitable for me. Your help is really recognized deeply in my heart.
Thanks for your great help!!!

Welcome to Devshed. Here is a forum for people to get free help, thus, there is no such thing as URGENT. If you are in a hurry, go hire a consultant, don't come here.
Now please start here and learn how to post a question, your subject title in particular.

google ?

Try http://www.newtolinux.org.uk and http://www.linuxnewbie.org to start learning. Then, when you have any more specific problems, try searching Google, search this forum's old posts, and maybe post a specific question if you need to.

some distros come with ebooks on the cds, browse them to see what they have, they are very good for beginners.....

I still consider myself somewhat of a beginner in linux admin. I went through community college classes to start learning, but I still use the books from the classes for reference:

UNIX System Administration Handbook, by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass, & Trent R. Hein. Covers variety of systems, including Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD, and Red Hat 6.2.
But instead of this book, get their other Linux-specific book.

Right after that class, they came out with a Linux version, which would probably be a better choice for you:

Linux System Administration Handbook
It's the green cover, ISBN 0130084662.
Covers Red Hat 7.2, SuSE 7.3, and Debian 3.0.

One good thing about these books is that they go through the booting and shutdown procedures and run levels, etc, and offer enough theory to understand what is going on. Then they go through the setup procedures for that feature on the different reference systems, including what the configuration files are and where to find them.

The thing is that the details of how to administer a Linux system can vary from distribution to distribution, and sometimes even from version to version. The emphasis in our classes was not so much how to do something, but rather to be aware of how it is often done and how then to find out how to do in on that particular system. Like that traditional view of going to college not just to learn stuff, but more importantly to learn how to learn.

For our Linux server class, we used Red Hat 7.2 and the book, "The Complete Reference: Red Hat Linux", 2nd Ed by Richard Petersen. This book goes through the setup procedures in more detail, though specifically for Red Hat 7.2.

Of course, you should find a comparable book for your particular distribution and version.

The main thing is that you won't get it all from a book, but you also need to poke around in the system.

HINT: before you change a configuration file, save it off to something like --
cp any.conf any.conf.orig

That way, recovering from a mistake will be easier.
