499 Things About UNIX You Can Not Afford Not to Know About!: A Ready Reference for Beginners & Advanced UNIX Users

The UNIX operating system is of great importance to engineers, computer scientists, IT personnel and of course, students enrolled in any technical college and university.

What's more, in today's fast paced world of technology, a rudimentary knowledge and understanding of UNIX is increasingly important for others in traditionally "non-technical" fields as diverse as market research, medicine, and even journalism.

This book spans the spectrum of experience and is designed for novices as well as experts.

The book contains two major sections:

I. An adaptation of tutorial lectures discussing various UNIX ideas that will benefit beginners and intermediate users as well as provide some useful refresher material for advanced users.

II. The bulk of the work, which consists of 499 concepts, commands, terminology, and ideas that are likely to come up during your UNIX-related studies or for the practitioner, during a typical work-day.

Great when you need information fast about syntax, a command, its meaning or how to use it.
