Reader Reviews
I work with a couple of flavours of unix and find that some basic things slip through the cracks sometimes. I found that this book is great to refresh my mind on some of the differances between them and also simple things like the names of various utilities. Overall a good book if you want dabble in a Unix that you are not familiar with.
