Which trade?

_Essential System Administration_ is old but an awesome survey of how to 
do "stuff" on many different Unix platforms.

_Absolute FreeBSD_ is great because it talks a lot about *why* things 
work the way they do.

_Backup & Recovery_ is a great survey of, well Backup & Recovery.

Then there is Linux itself (but which distro), Ansible (or Chef, Puppet, 
Salt or 1,001 other similar CMS tools), AWS (or other <insert cloud 
here> (AKA "someone else's data center)), backup & *recovery*, Postfix, 
DNS, DHCP, shell scripting (& probably Git), and tons more...

Good luck, bring aspirin,
JP
