Unix and Linux Answers! by Charlie Russel
This guide to UNIX and Linux aims to enhance the reader's practical knowledge of these operating systems. It includes useful scripts and workarounds, and a command-reference appendix and glossary. Numerous "how-to" lists and screen shots illustrate the book's answers. It also covers both expert and novice UNIX/Linux topics. UNIX is a widely-used operating system in the fields of Internet/Intranet and high-end computing, and is the founding OS of the World Wide Web. Its presence is strongest in hospitals, financial institutions and large Fortune-500 corporations. There are many flavours of UNIX from different vendors (for example, Sun/Solaris, HP/UX). Two categories of UNIX exist: UNIX System V and Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). UNIX System V is the version developed by the creators of UNIX, AT&T Bell Laboratories. With UNIX System 4, AT&T and Sun Microsystems (a prominent force in the UNIX marketplace) merged their two versions of UNIX. UNIX System V is considered the semi-official UNIX standard. Linux is a UNIX clone, free of any commercially-copyrighted software, developed for Intel-based PCs. The operating system was designed to bring UNIX power and flexibility to PCs and mainframes. Linux has grown to become a popular OS choice for PC workstations. Charlie Russel is the author of "ABCs of Windows NT Workstation 4" and co-author (with Linda Gause) of "SCO Open Server: The Windows Network Solution". Sharon Crawford is the co-author (Andy Rathbone) of "Windows NT4 for Dummies". Together Charlie Russel and Sharon Crawford are co-authors of "Running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4", "Windows NT and UNIX Intranet Secrets", Voodoo UNIX" and "OS/2 for Windows Users".| SKU | Unavailable |
