What book would you recommend as a reference for Ubuntu server administration?

I'd like to not limit this to server-edition. I'm biased toward development environments that need to strike a balance somewhere between desktop & server.

One book per answer, please - vote answers up/down as you feel appropriate. If you feel the book is biased towards/good for particular tasks, please mention them.

The Ubuntu Server Guide(PDF) is free and written by the Ubuntu developers.

  • It would appear that SO modifies Amazon links to use their own affiliate code, instead of the one in the original link.

If you work with your Ubuntu Local team you can get a free copy of the Ubuntu Server book as Jono mentioned and is posted on the Fridge here: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/2094.

Also I enjoyed this one: Beginning Ubuntu LTS Server Administration: From Novice to Professional even though it is a bit older
