Order (or just read more about) Unix: The Complete Reference from Amazon.com

Well, of course it really isn't the "Complete Reference". Even at 1300 pages, you can't really do that, especially when you are trying to cover Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Nevertheless, this book makes a valiant effort, and at least briefly touches upon everything you probably need to know. This would probably be a good starting point for a Windows oriented person who suddenly finds themselves responsible for Unix machines.

A companion web site is not found where the book says it is, but can be found at http://www.osborne.com/programming_webdev/007211892X/007211892X_url.shtml

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
