Reader Reviews
This book gave me not only how to do in aix, unix, but why the way unix should be or should work. There are so many unix books with full of how-to-related infomation, but there is no other book that explains why in a simple way of explanation. This book really helps me out to start studying unix, aix. And this should be read by all unix users and admins to get a nice foundation of unix,aix. Comment | | (Report this)
