I'm looking for the best books/websites to learn network administration. While I have a good handle on some topics, my learning is very adhoc and I'd like something that covers all the basics from a fairly beginner level.
One of our two network admins is leaving and I've been assigned to take on his duties since we can't afford to hire anyone "in this economy". The other guy will be available to teach me but I want to have a foundation so I don't waste his time with the basics.
