I really don't know python too well but I am fairly good with java and C++. I'm really looking for books on bash and other ways to mess around with Ubuntu. Also I was reading about Blackbuntu and was wondering if that is a better learning distro of linux.

Hey I'm looking to get into tweaking Ubuntu. What are some good texts that I should pickup that are fairly cheap that will help me out? I'm experienced with C++ and Java so hopefully the syntax shouldn't be too bad heh. Thanks!
