90% of the commands, at least, are basic Unix commands, not specific to
Linux or Debian. O'Reilly's "Unix in a Nutshell", or "Linux in a Nutshell",
should do fine as a simple reference. Personally I find "Unix Power Tools" to
be my bible of Unix black magick.
If you want to go the free route, just use the man pages. For some silly
reason, GNU prefers info *shudder* pages, so a lot of manpages will tell you
to read the info pages instead. Someday I think I'll start fixing that...
man -k "keyword" to search on a specific topic.
