Summary: Essential Book for your UNIX Reference Library
Comment: I own the first and second editions of this book. I keep a copy at home, and one at work. It is comprehensive guide to the UNIX operating system. I always look here first for any questions or help I need with UNIX. I would recommend this book for anyone that uses UNIX.

Rating: 5
Summary: still the best overview
Comment: I owned the 1st edition before and just received my copy of the 2nd. Imo, this is still the best general description of traditional Unix systems. There are so many important topics and utilities covered in this book that I recommend it to every Unix user. Classical Unix tools (shells, roff, ed, vi, awk), scripting languages (tcl, perl), programming tools (make, lint), networking, it is all there. This is certainly not my only book on Unix, but one of the few that I would never give away.

Summary: Great Unix book for beginners and intermediate users
Comment: Had to give this one four stars, though, instead of five. The chapter on Tcl/Tk and Expect (chapter 20) is loaded with errors - probably editorial in nature (lots of places where parentheses are used instead of brackets "{}" and these WILL cause errors if you try to run the commands.). Otherwise, this is a fine book for learning Unix or going beyond the beginner level. The authors not only know their stuff, but they communicate it well. Highly recommended!
