From Library Journal

This package includes Daniel Gilly's Unix in a Nutshell (O'Reilly, 1992. 2d ed.) along with a CD text of six books: Unix Power Tools (2d ed.), Learning the UNIX Operating System, sed & awk (2d ed.), Unix in a Nutshell, Learning the vi Editor (5th ed.), and Learning the Korn Shell. This set contains a good deal of UNIX info, but much of it is very old. The chief advantage over the books is the ability to "search" the CD. This is an optional purchase.

Simply a Great set - Hyperlinked refs. outstanding value.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 1999

Although single user pack, this CD from O'Reilly is unbeatable. The Unix Power Tools alone worth a lot more $s than the CD itself. The Cross-refs. are great, the search engine didn't work well on my PC, but it works great on a Unix platform (so 4 +stars). Please O'Reilly make it multi-user set and fix the PC related bug then you are a superstar.

This is a great book and O'Reilly has good tech support!

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 1999

I've purchased this book for its search capability. Since I was using a proxy server, the search function didn't work for my PC. I've contacted O'Reilly by e-mail and they responded back promptly. Tech support person told me to set my Netscape Communicator proxy exception to include localhost and it made search work on my PC. I think O'Reilly is including this instructions for their new CDs. I am happy to have 6 books for a cheap price topping it off with this search capability. This is a great deal!
