UNIX & its flavors

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Unix By: Bill Wagner A clear, practical, easy-to-understand reference for the end-user that quickly explains all essential UNIX commands and procedures. Carefully crafted coverage applies to all major UNIX variants, including UNIX System V, r4.2, DEC, HP, IBM, and Sun versions of UNIX as well as Linux.

Unix Made Easy By: John Muster, Associates Muster Opens with a quick tour of Unix that includes logging in, exploring directory structures, creating files, and other basic jobs.

Unix for the Impatient By: Paul W. Abrahams, Bruce Larson A handbook for those who need to learn UNIX quickly -- people interested in UNIX as a tool rather than an object of study -- this book can serve both as a guide and a reference source once UNIX has been mastered. A clear, concise and readable resource for the technically oriented UNIX user who doesn't want to wade through verbose tutorials, but who isn't already an expert.

Unix: Visual Quickstart Guide By: Deborah S. Ray, Eric J. Ray The authors take the time to explain correct Unix lingo as well as concepts and processes to be aware of as a daily user. For more experienced users, there are plenty of cool tools and shortcuts to make the book worthwhile (sdiff, head, and procmail, for example). Provides a generous section on scripting -- a good introduction for advanced users who may be spending too much time on repetitive tasks. The authors also touch on how to intelligently include regular expressions in searching, a pleasant addition to an already outstanding section.

The Underground Guide to Unix: Slightly Askew Advice from a Unix Guru By: John Montgomery, Woody Leonhard This book is for intermediate users--those who can get into Unix and knock around until they accomplish their goals, but who don't know enough about the operating system to really enjoy it. Chapters contain practical explanations of umask, chmod, rm, grep, and the rest of the Unix file-management tools. Explains the differences among the Bourne, C, and Korn shells.

UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers By: Uresh Vahalia Exploration of the latest advances in UNIX-based operating systems.

Linux Complete By: Grant Taylor, Jeremy Crawford Many say that this is the best Linux reference book on the market. One reviewer wrote " more accurate and thorough information than similar books at more than twice its price."

Linux: Clearly Explained By: Bryan Pfaffenberger Acknowledges that graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are here to stay, and that a large percentage of folks moving from Windows to Linux will want to stick with GUIs. Focuses on Red Hat Linux 6 and the Gnome windowing system that ships with that distribution.

The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System By: Marshall Kirk McKusick (Editor), Keith Bostic, Michael J.

UNIX in a Nutshell: System V Edition By: Arnold Robbins A complete reference containing all commands and options, with descriptions and examples that put the commands in context. For all but the thorniest UNIX problems, this one reference should be all you need. Covers System V Release 4 and Solaris 7.

A Practical Guide to Solaris By: Mark G. Sobell A broad range of topics, from creating passwords and working with files to shell programs, are covered in this thick volume. There are also warnings and tips about specific functions and utilities, such as the which and whereis that are used to help located commands and files, throughout the chapters. Includes a massive section devoted exclusively to the utilities within Solaris. A master list groups them by function, and subsequent discrete sections outline their purpose, the commands needed to use them, and notes on potential pitfalls.

SCO UNIX in a Nutshell By: Ellie Cutler Shows you what's under the hood of your SCO system. In addition to all commands and options, this reference covers shell syntax for the Bourne, Korn, C, and SCO shells; compiler and debugging commands; networking with email, TCP/IP, NFS, and UUCP; and system administration commands.
