Dear all !

I'm supposed to setup a linux server here at my shop ( and install an Oracle DB on it afterwards ) .

I need to do ALL the work related to this : server setting up , Linux O/S installation etc ....

I've never previously worked with Linux ( never seen it , to be honest ) although i have several years UNIX ( Hp + Solaris ) background ( not as sysadmin though ) .

So , my question is : where to start ?

Where can i get some readings / manuals / installation guides / sysadmin guides for a beginner Linux administrator ? Where can i download the software ?

Are there resources / mailing lists for Linux administration on the web ?

Thanks U very much for your assistance . ANY help will be VERY appreciated .

Andrey .
