- Hi,
- Saw your request inquiring about a U*ix book for beginners.
- I just started using a u*ix system earlier this year. Before
- that it was DOS since its inception. I've found the following
- book to be very good:
-
- UNIX System V Release 4, An Introduction, by Rosen,
- Rosinski, & Farber; publisher Osborne McGraw-Hill
- ISBN 0-07-881552-5; price $29.95 US; 1228 pages
-
- Actually, I've been using Ultrix 2.4, DEC's variant of U*ix, an
- old version at that, and have found answers to most questions
- in the aforementioned book. The book even point out some of the
- differences between DOS syntax and U*ix, as well as discusses PC
- U*ix variants, and is written in tutorial style.
