Books on Linux

Not totally new to Linux. Have done distro installs before. At this point, I'm looking for a way out of the MS lock down I've been in. Looking for a good beginner/intermediate book. One that will cover things such as server installs as well as things like X-Windows/SAMBA installs from CLI. What I am looking to do is to install a file/server and mail system that is accessible from a Windows or OS X desktop.
i have not really decided as of yet. I am familiar with Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS. Have not used them enough to know the real differences though.
Thanks for the help.

Someone asked me a similar question the other day, and these were the links I came up with. Hope they help.

Hi!
Well Goineasy9 made some good suggestions on internet articles good for mail I think were you asking more about a full fledge physical book right?
Well as far as internet goes a good one that Goineasy9 already suggested is:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php
Pretty cool on-line bookish like wiki, if that makes any sense. I particularly like IPTables part. Its simple basic but helpful for beginners.
But for physical books um....
Linux Troubleshooting Bible:
http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-076456997X.html
(Love this book) It helps you not only troubleshoot services but gives deeper understanding of what those services do. One of my fav.
Or.. you know what.. HERE:

If you are intending on making a server then I highly recommend CentOS over Fedora or the others. It is built off of RedHat and there is a decent amount of on-line articles and what not for RedHat/CentOS for setting up server environments.0
