This package includes Daniel Gilly's Unix in a Nutshell (O'Reilly, 1992. 2d ed.) along with a CD text of six books: Unix Power Tools (2d ed.), Learning the UNIX Operating System, sed & awk (2d ed.), Unix in a Nutshell, Learning the vi Editor (5th ed.), and Learning the Korn Shell. This set contains a good deal of UNIX info, but much of it is very old. The chief advantage over the books is the ability to "search" the CD. This is an optional purchase.

Reader Reviews
Any one or two of these books would cost more than this six-pack. And the CD-ROM is good for cut and past operations. The nice thing about this set is that as things progress and you diversify into other subjects, as perl you never lose the core skills that are displayed on this CD. The vi editor is always present and more powerful than the passing fads like emacs, which will be, replace in due time. And yes I thing each shell has its strength; however after the Borurne shell, The Korn shell is the most prolific. Now for those that think the tcsh and bash shells are in now are already behind as most shells regardless of what you type are based on the POSIX.2 standard. Even thought I have a gazillion reference books, this is nice because it is on line.
