A very good basic book on UNIX. It gives the beginner a good introduction to the core functions of the terminal and the command line. I had gone through Chris Stone's excellent "Learning the Mac OS X Terminal" series on oreilly.com and got my unsupported Epson 850Ne network inkjet printer working in OS X by following instructions at http://homepage.mac.com/balthisar/printing/ (which is also an excellent resource) before reading this book. I still learned quite a bit from this book. It filled in a lot of gaps in my basic UNIX knowledge. It definitely left me hungry for more especially in the area of shell customization. |
