The bookshelf has an enorous potential to be improved and it is a question why better books were not packaged.
For example, Unix in a nutshell has a 2nd edition in the print and in cd is the old first.
Learning vi editor has 6th edition in print and in cd is the old one.
Learning Korn shell is no way of so use as of "Using csh and tcsh". Why Korn shell book in the bookshelf and why not cshell book?
As sed and awk is available on most system V, so it is ok, though it is now being replaced by perl.
Two books : Unix Power Tools, 2nd ed. and Learning the Unix Operating system, 4th edition are really good.
I was going to buy this bookshelf but if you are getting old editions in the cd, it is not worth spending.
I shall look forward to O'reilly to update the cd bookshelf for better value to its readers.
I shall buy it as soon as new editions are included and korn shell is replaced with csh book. Hope Oreilly would consider doing it.
