A good book, not just one reprinting the man page without further explanation, can help with this. e.g. If you were going to set up a name server, it helps to read something that explains what the records are, and how the information is used. /Then/ you learn about how to configure the particular server software that you're going to play with. The same goes for lots of other servers (HTTP, LDAP, whatever). Reading about, and learning, the *concept* is something that a good book is still useful for.
