Subject: BOOK ON UNIX
HUMANISTS who are faced with UNIX as a new computing environment (by
choice or by institutional decree) may benefit from a new book. I
wish I'd had access to it a couple years ago when I first took the
UNIX plunge. Have a look at _Life With UNIX. A Guide Book for Everyone_
by Don Libes & Sandy Ressler (NJ: Prentice Hall, 1989; ISBN 0-13-536657-7).
It's not a UNIX primer, nor a book about shell script programming, but an
"everything you'd like to know about UNIX" book. Section I is on UNIX
history (past, present future); Section II tells where we find information
about UNIX (printed & non-printed resources); Section III contains more
traditional introductory information about the UNIX computing environment,
from user, programmer and system administrator perspectives. Section IV
contains four chapters of diverse nature on (a) "UNIX Underground" -- the
public domain sources for information & programs; (b) UNIX Services;
(c) UNIX Applications; (d) "UNIX Meets the Real World."
So long as we are forced to be aware of operating systems, and to conquer
them, and so long as UNIX promises to be a major player, this is a fine
book. I've grown to love (and hate!) UNIX without it, but I'd feel
guilty not recommending the book to others, veteran or newcomer to
UNIX.
