The Unix CD Bookshelf is great

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

I liked the book just fine. I bought a used copy that stated it came with the CD. It came with a poorly burned copy of the original content which feels like a cheat somehow...

I cannot access the full content of the CD, but what I can is a web-based (HTML) version of several good books. Had it been complete it would have been incredibly useful.

Good but needs updating.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2002

I have the previous edition of this book / CD. I was awaiting the next edition (this one); but I am disappointed with the new offerings. As a lot of people use perl or python these days, along with SED and AWK, I was hoping that the new addition would encompass these two topics. I'll wait to see what the 3rd edition is like.

Most-used reference I have

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2006

I would give it five stars, but as others have noted it is getting up in age. On the other hand I know of no other single source with this much information. It is a five star value. I particularly appreciate the indexed CD, which I copied to my hard drive and bookmarked in my browser.

A must-have book for the serious UNIX pro..!

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2000

Having read a number of books on Operating Systems in General and UNIX in particular, this book shines out in terms of clarity, focus and appeal to a cross section of users- from the hard-boiled pro to someone making a tentative foray in the myriad world of UNIX... I recommend it as a "must-have" ......!
