for overall linux knowledge i always recommend "Running Linux" from
O'Reilly:

i don't have any experience with, but i have seen a few kylix books in
the local book stores, just head to the computer section. you should be
able to find information on DSO and SO from the apache docs:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/

a few books that are still on my 'To Read' list, but that may be what
you're looking for:

"Unix Power Tools" from O'Reilly.
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/upt3/

"Linux Programing" from Sams.
