Computer networks

1. By networks. Now I'm reading Tanenbaum's "computer networks", a bit boring, but I like it. Perhaps there is something better?
2. By *nix, Linux\BSD.
3. Maybe something else interesting?

Linux through the eyes of a hacker is still early, but Michael Lucas' FreeBSD Definitive Guide is highly recommended. It is chewed for beginners and examples for practical application are immediately given. I also advise you to have FreeBsd or debian, or ubuntu server on the virtual machine - only without a graphical shell (GUI).
For practice, try to configure:
1.NAT gateway (Internet gateway, preferably using iptables, pf) - but this is unlikely to work correctly on a virtual machine, especially if your PC is directly connected to the provider. But it is imperative to deal with firewalls.
2. LAMP (figure out what this abbreviation means :) - you can immediately hang a blog on wordpress there, and you will immediately notate there.
3. It would be very nice to work out the routing, again using the built-in firewalls of Linux or freebsd (depending on what you choose). But on a single machine, it's hard. For example: If a computer from the xxxx.xxxx.10.0 subnet knocks on the xxxx.xxxx.25.0 subnet, then redirect it, for example, to Google.
4. Try to set up a mail server using Exim or Communigate (the first one is popular due to its functionality and free of charge, the second one is very visual for beginners and allows you to understand all the "features" of mail). Solve this problem after the previous ones, when you are well versed in the protocols.
If there are few tasks or you need to do something easier / more difficult - knock on the PM, I'll tell you.

You can read a lot of books, but they don't teach you to think like a system administrator.
Set up a sandbox at home (vmvar), set up 2-3 Linux machines there (the least familiar) and set yourself an INTERESTING task (which has a theoretical solution) and try to solve it using Google and textbooks.

1 - Throw the fuck out of Tannenbaum (I apologize for the French), exactly like Oliferov. It's too academic a book to start with and should be read either at university or after you've touched something.
Download the CCNA course, or better yet, video courses from Jeremy (Jeremy Cioara CBTnuggets).
2 - For niks, read "Linux through the eyes of a hacker" by Mikhail Flenov + chants like a slackbook. If you have a lot of time and really like linux - “The Linux Kernel” by Bovet and Cezati (this is also not a very “applied” book, but it allows you to understand the system very seriously).
3 Camel book (if reading the previous ones didn't discourage you), understanding MySQL, something about cryptography. Well, if you want to seriously engage in administration, read something on SLA - when applying for a job in a serious company, this will be a plus.

read Oliferov - I liked it, very fundamentally. Also, I personally was greatly influenced by Robachevsky's book "The UNIX Operating System"

So, if you already know how, then you just have to sharpen your skills in practice. Well, to disassemble the OSI and TCP \ IP reference models brick by brick. Everything else will come easy to you.

Isn't it time to look in the direction of education (http://it-university.ru/)?

There is nothing better for BSD (freebsd) www.freebsd.org/doc/ru_RU.KOI8-R/books/handbook

if you are a sys admin or linux. you need a root terminal to install software, an analogue of the task manager, there is a CPU, memory and LAN.
