[LUNA] Unix training & book recommendation

[Michael W. Hall]

Doing a search on Amazon I see the following:

The Official Ubuntu Server Book (3rd Edition) one of the authors writes
for Linux Journal.

Linux Bible

There were a bunch of others listed also.  The Ubuntu Server book may be
a good place to look.  You maybe could make it more generic in you
lessons.

Just some ideas.
