Unix and Linux: Visual QuickStart Guide 4th Edition


Unix and Linux: Visual QuickStart Guide 4th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Deborah S. Ray and Eric J. Ray use step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots, and includes three years worth of new material based on the latest Unix developments. This reference guide details all Unix commands and options along with tips that put those commands in context.

Leading Unix authorities Deborah S. Ray and Eric J. Ray leverage their expertise as technical writers and working in the industry (Sun Microsystems) as they take readers step-by-step through the most common Unix commands and options. By reading this text, readers can start from the beginning to get a tour of the Unix operating system, or look up specific tasks to learn just what they need to know.

Authors introduce you to three of the most common editors: pico (and nano comes along for free), vi, and emacs. They launch a general overview of each, and then discuss some how-tos of using each one. With the information presented here, you'll be able to choose an editor based on your needs and get started using it (or using all of them).

I got hired for a job where I spend almost everyday working in a Unix/Linux environment and I had very little knowledge of how to get around the system. In the week I had off between jobs I picked up this book and a book on Apache 2 and first day I went in I hit the ground running, even knowing a couple things my co-workers did not. That greatly put my mind to ease.

I'm still looking to move up into the soon to be available admin position though, so that means I'm starting in on the next book, but this one was a perfect quick read to get one acquainted with the non-admin functions of Unix and how it works. I highly recommend this book for beginners with Unix and Linux.
