This is a guide to the commands, concepts and terminology of System V UNIX, LINUX and SCO UNIX. Alphabetically organized and extensively cross-referenced, the book offers fast access to essential information on many aspects of using UNIX.
This book is the best written Unix reference book I've ever encountered. Peter Dyson wrote this to be easier to read than Unix MAN pages - why it's called the "Hu.man pages" - and he succeeded royally. Although I also own O'Reilly's great "Unix In a Nutshell" reference book, that one is not as nearly easy to read. When I need to look up a Unix command, the first book I always grab is this one. My advise is: if you find a copy, buy it!
