We're looking for a good introductory text on Ubuntu system administration. This is just for our personal computers, not any kind of server. We're tech-savvy and I know my way around the command line. What we want is a good overview mental model, grasp of vocabulary, and generally the ability to ask the right question when we run into a problem. Bonus points for a tour of standard apps (e.g., for simple photo editing).
What's your favorite book / website / video series for this sort of thing?
