Ok, I have pretty much set my mind on buying a NeXT Station (105Meg) and
getting some sort of add-on drive (that 510 meg 3.5" drive looked nice).
One thing concerns me though. I have never run a Unix system before. From
reading this newsgroup, I realize how difficult this is. From all of these
cryptic disk-formatting procedures to all of the 'dot' files. I am looking
for a good book that would describe how to run a Unix system (specifically
a NeXT) Requirements would be:
Fairly easy to understand to a Unix neophyte
Not an insult to my intelligence (I understand what a 'floppy disk' is)
One that details all of the setup files.
System security is not really necessary but would be nice.
Thanks for all coments.
Email please, I will summarize.
