Hello World, Recently I read in Byte about the book "Unix System Administration" by Bruce Hunter and David Fiedler. It is available in the Netherlands for f69, say $30. I would like to know more about Administration "How to behave like root" of the Unix (read Minix) box, which I have at home. Is the book any good for this, or else what is it good for? Is it worth buying or which book, covering Unix administration, is? Thanks in advance. Met vriendelijke groeten, Wim van Dorst, wsincc@tuews1.win.tue.nl

If you`ve got backups, then one may be the superuser on Minix without much worry. The Hunter book is a few years old and newer books are likely better: 1. Thomas, Rebecca: Unix Administration Guide for System V, l989 2. Nemeth, Evi: Unix System Administration Handbook, l989 Dave Lawyer
