I would like the net's advice on (a) good book(s) concerning the non-trivial aspects of unix. I am already familiar w/many of the commands...that is not a problem...what i want is a book that details and explains many of the unix features that separate it from the smaller operating systems. Ex.-> devices, virtual memory, perl, other various shells...basically a good book that doesn't spend too much time explaining every line-editor and vi to me...tell me something interesting... thanx -- Timothy Dodge Bernhardt 207 ,Box 134, Moravian College, Bethlehem PA 18018 ------------ CSNET/INTERNET....dodgeT@moravian.edu ___________________ |The keeper of| UUCP......!rutgers!liberty!batman!dodgeT_|I would if i could |strange hours| In Bill Gates I Trust | i can't so i won't

Libes & Ressler, "Life With UNIX", would probably tell you much of
what you want to know, but only at a survey level. For details you
have to dig into lots of places.
