Hello,

I've been using linux (debian) for about a year now, and although I'm no
longer scared of the command line I would like to do a little
reading/studying of linux to get a better understanding of some of the more
advanced topics, or to see if I have learned a lot of the things that might
be taught in a university-linux/UNIX course. I'm sure that there is a lot of
stuff that I've missed by just going at it with trial and error. Perhaps
there are some online courses posted to youtube, or a few books that someone
might like to recommend? I would be interested to know what types of things
one must learn to get "linux-certification" (I presume there is such a
thing).

Regards,
James

My favorite free on-line reference for general Linux knowledge is currently
the original edition of "The Linux Cookbook", by Michael Stutz. Here is the
link:

http://dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_toc.html

There is a greatly expanded second edition of the book, which is more
comprehensive, but it is not free. You have to pay for it.
Others, I'm sure, will have other ideas.

Not Debian-specific, but I learned a lot by building "linux from
scratch" - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ - it takes you step-by-step
in building a Linux system from source code. You learn a LOT in the
process. The basic version takes you through a fairly minimal system.
There's also a "Beyond Linux from Scratch" linked to from the site, that
takes you further.

I have learned much about the Linux kernel be reading this book:
"Understanding the Linux Kernel" by Daniel P. Bovet and Marco Cesati
It's very big, but there is everything in it what you would like to
know about Linux.

Greetings,
Oliver Verlinden

Can't miss the Debian Reference by Osamu Aoki (青木 修):

http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#quick-reference

It covers a lot of topics and provides up-to-date pointers to other resources.
