Summary: excellent reference
Comment: for those crazy VI and EMACS commands, plus the rest of the unix command line, this is a must have, and for the price, you can't beat it!

Rating: 4
Summary: Really handy
Comment: Most of my development time is spent on Windows. But deployment almost always has been on UNIX. That's when I need to use vi sometimes, make changes to some "make" files, do some basic navigation and file manipulation. The Nutshell book fulfills my needs in that aspect. For advanced shell scripting or awk programming, you need to look elsewhere. But then that is not the purpose of the book anyway.

Summary: Unix man pages put on paper.
Comment: If you want to be able to read the man pages away frm your computer, this book is for you. Basically its general unix MAN pages put on page, without all the length bs thats in the computerized version. All the attributes are listed and explained clearly (more clearly than most of the man pages, which I sometimes find to be poorly written or by people too nerdy for their own good). But thats only 1/3 of the book. The other 2/3 is details about each shell, C shell, Korn shell, Bourne shell. It then goes on to discuss things like pattern matching, emacs, troffm sedm awk, make, sccs. And considering this book costs a mere $10 retail its a steal. Especially when computer monitors are not easy on the eyes to read. This is a reference book EVERY unix sys admin needs.
