Reader Reviews
Comprehensive text book about UNIX. The book introduces into nearly all aspects of UNIX one needs to know to deal with UNIX in general. Several topics need extra books if one wants to go deeper into the subject. But this cannot be otherwise, because UNIX is such a vast field; too big for one book. For instance shell or Perl programming need aditional books. For system administration of a particular UNIX one also needs more information. If the only UNIX one wants to master would be LINUX, then one could buy the LINUX version of it. And if one uses a particular distribution of LINUX, like RedHat or Debian, then there are versions of "...unleashed" even for those. The book is not thought for teaching how to programm on UNIX, although it explains the basics for compiling software. If one knows little about UNIX the book may positively surprise by the many topics covered. Comment | | (Report this)
