Good introductory book (or better books) save you a lot of trouble, especially if one try to learn Linux/Unix independently. Actually a good book can make a difference between success and failure in moving from widows to Unix environment. Unix is a complex OS and there is a tremendous difference in quality among introductory books. Please be careful. Some books are available in electronic format, see Unix CD bookshelf, 3d edition and Safari

One of my recommendations for very basic introductory books is Mark Sobell's books. He breaks one rule that I talked about in the introduction: the book value is strongly correlated with the quality of the authors web site, if any. The author web site www.sobell.com is weak, but the books are decent. You can read an interview with Mark G. Sobell.
All Mark Sobell Unix books contain two parts: the first is tutorial and the second is reference. Both are good. The reference is close to man pages, but always contain examples -- a sad omission in original Unix man pages (along with obsolete format -- HTML would be much better and more modern choice). Those examples alone are worth the price of the book.
For Solaris books see my Solaris page that I created after Sun's initiative to open Solaris. Solaris 8 is free on computers with up to 8 CPUs and is a very good OS, especially for using with commercial databases. IMHO Oracle on Linux is a rather shaky proposition despite all recent Oracle hype and handwaiving.
Most Unix vendors have documentation available online and the last thing you want is a reproduction of man pages in printed format. You need to check for such a correlation :-). See my Solaris links. Actually it was DEC that has the best documentation available online...
If you have no chance to browse book yourself in a nearby bookstore, open content books are definitely preferable -- at least you know what to expect and you can adapt/add to electronic text to suit your needs. See also Softpanorama CD Bookshelf

(multicians.org)"The seminal operating system Multics has been reborn," writes Slashdot reader doon386 :
The last native Multics system was shut down in 2000 . After more than a dozen years in hibernation a simulator for the Honeywell DPS-8/M CPU was finally realized and, consequently, Multics found new life... Along with the simulator an accompanying new release of Multics -- MR12.6 -- has been created and made available. MR12.6 contains many bug and Y2K fixes and allows Multics to run in a post-Y2K, internet-enabled world. Besides supporting dates in the 21st century, it offers mail and send_message functionality, and can even simulate tape and disk I/O. (And yes, someone has already installed Multics on a Raspberry Pi.)
Version 1.0 of the simulator was released Saturday, and Multicians.org is offering a complete QuickStart installation package with software, compilers, install scripts, and several initial projects (including SysDaemon, SysAdmin, and Daemon).
Plus there's also useful Wiki documents about how to get started, noting that Multics emulation runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Raspian systems. The original submission points out that "This revival of Multics allows hobbyists, researchers and students the chance to experience first hand the system that inspired UNIX."

Influence on Unix ( Score: 4 , Informative)Shirley Marquez ( 1753714 ) , Monday July 10, 2017 @12:44PM ( #54779281 ) HomepageFrom here [wikipedia.org]...
The design and features of Multics greatly influenced the Unix operating system, which was originally written by two Multics programmers, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. Superficial influence of Multics on Unix is evident in many areas, including the naming of some commands. But the internal design philosophy was quite different, focusing on keeping the system small and simple, and so correcting some deficiencies of Multics because of its high resource demands on the limited computer hardware of the time.
The name Unix (originally Unics) is itself a pun on Multics. The U in Unix is rumored to stand for uniplexed as opposed to the multiplexed of Multics, further underscoring the designers' rejections of Multics' complexity in favor of a more straightforward and workable approach for smaller computers. (Garfinkel and Abelson[18] cite an alternative origin: Peter Neumann at Bell Labs, watching a demonstration of the prototype, suggested the name/pun UNICS (pronounced "Eunuchs"), as a "castrated Multics", although Dennis Ritchie is claimed to have denied this.)
Ken Thompson, in a transcribed 2007 interview with Peter Seibel[20] refers to Multics as "...overdesigned and overbuilt and over everything. It was close to unusable. They (i.e., Massachusetts Institute of Technology) still claim it's a monstrous success, but it just clearly wasn't." He admits, however, that "the things that I liked enough (about Multics) to actually take were the hierarchical file system and the shell! a separate process that you can replace with some other process."
A hugely influential failure ( Score: 2 )The biggest problem with Multics was GE/Honeywell/Bull, the succession of companies that made the computers that it ran on. None of them were much good at either building or marketing mainframe computers.
So yes, Multics was a commercial failure; the number of Multics systems that were sold was small. But in terms of moving the computing and OS state of the art forward, it was a huge success. Many important concepts were invented or popularized by Multics, including memory mapped file I/O, multi-level file system hierarchies, and hardware protection rings. Security was a major focus in the design of Multics, which led to it being adopted by the military and other security-conscious customers.

Are there any books you would recommend to someone interested in improving their understanding of Unix? Even though I use it every day, I feel like my understanding is incomplete. I would like to read one or two books, preferably under 300 pages each, that would make me a lot smarter when it comes to Unix. And I figure reading about Unix at bedtime would help me fall asleep faster.

- Kernighan/Mashey "Unix Programming Environment" paper. Since it's a paper, it's rather short.
- Ritchie/Thompson original paper might put things in perspective.
- Kernighan/Pike _The Unix Programming Environment_ book.

- Nemeth/Snyder/... unix sysadmin book might be useful.

Friday, May 28, 2004If you use it every day, but you're looking for more, I recommend O'Reilly's "Essential System Administration." Describes the evolutions of the different branches of Unixes, and how they differ. Each part of the book describes how to do something in the different ways peculiar to different Unix-alikes. It does have a sysadmin bent, of course, but you still might want to check it out.

Friday, May 28, 2004I second the Unix Power Tools reccomendation. It has taught me more about unix than any other unix book I've bought, or any one site online.
Its not small, but its not designed to be read straight through. Its a collection of tips from newsgroups and email lists over the past 20+ years.
It won't teach you tons of sysadmin stuff, but it will make you a much more effective unix user, which will translate into a better sysadmin.
I cannot reccomend this book enough.

None of the books recommended so far gives you the "big picture", and (IMHO) you will never become proficient in UNIX (be it programming or system administration), until you have a good mental model of the whole.
The best book for the "high-level view" is "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.
His other books are very good as well, and "Structured Computer Organization" is worth a read no matter which OS you are using.

Vast improvement, June 27, 2002
Reviewer: Daniel O'Riordan from New York City, New York
I bought the Solaris 8 version of this book. It was OK but did not contain sufficient material on the new technologies. I ordered the Solaris 9 version of the book because it's the only Solaris 9 book around. I am happy to report that this book covers new technologies like RBAC, LDAP and the resource manager. These are so much more important for the enterprise than GNOME. Strong emphasis on disks - format, partition, volume management, backups - is good and logically ordered. The only thing I would like to see is more coverage on application servers, databases, message queues and other uses of Solaris in large firms. But that's probably an architecture book with a different focus.

Based on 58 reviews.
Write a review.
The New Edition is Great, September 13, 2002 Unix in general and Linux in particular is a complex OS and any introductory book that has, say, less than 800 pages is suspect. You just need to put a lot of stuff into the introductory Unix book. Some books like all Mark Sobell books are structured in two parts with the second part containing a reference. This is a good idea for the introductory book as man pages are often difficult to use for novices, but content of the first part suffers (Sobell's books do not contain chapters on AWK and SED -- a sad omission for the introductory book, but it contain a pretty decent information about this utilities in the reference part of the book). The problem is that Sobell authored a general Unix book (A Practical Guide to the Unix System, 1994 see below) and never updated it, his more recent books are about Linux and Solaris. They are covered in my Linux and Solaris pages. Here we will cover general introductory books.
What I really like about Mark Sobell's Unix books is that all of them contain
two parts that can be considered as a separate books. So in essence you buy
two books for the price of one.
The book also has pretty usable index and five appendixes. Appendix A (regular expressions) actually deserves to be converted to a chapter.
This edition is a result of polishing the material from four previous editions and that shows. For example in the Chapter 2 (p.38) the author mentions the problem of using Ctrl-Z by the beginners who attempt to undo some command line changes. But this is not a Windows environment and that actually postpone the program -- a very puzzling situation for beginners for which very few Unix beginner books authors provide a helpful advice. Useful tips can be found in almost any chapter and it is this attention to details that really make this book an outstanding example of the introductory Unix textbook.
Another interesting feature of the book is that the command line environment is introduced after GUI (KDE/Gnome) environment. Such an approach is more modern than "command line first" approach and provides an opportunity for students immediately transfer their Windows-based skills to Linux and master command line after that, saving a lot of frustration (vi as the first Unix editor is a torture, I know that for sure :-). In this case beginners can postpone struggling with vi until they get to speed with pipes and classical Unix utilities. Actually this permit studying vi in more depth. We should not forget than most students now study Unix after they learn Windows and Sobell's book in one of the few that take into account this situation.
I used his previous Solaris-based book for several introductory Unix classes at the university and can attest that students grasp most material very easily. Exercises given after each chapter can serve as a basis of very useful homework assignments.
As for shortcomings there are very few of them and they generally does not diminish the high value of the book. For some reason gawk and sed are not covered in the main chapters, but only in the reference part. I would change this is a future edition(s).
Grep and find probably also can be covered a small separate chapter (or the author may wish to swap it with the chapter 14 --the second shell (c shell) might be an overkill for the introductory book (bash is now "good enough") and it's better to move it into supplement :-). I would also convert the supplement about regular expressions into a regular chapter and devote some space to Perl (Z-shell can go to the supplement too; I doubt about wisdom of covering three shells in an introductory book.)
It's really sad that Perl is not mentioned at all while the whole chapter is devoted to zsh: in reality Perl killed shell scripting in all but simple and special purpose (startup) cases. And although the decision whether to include Perl chapter or not should probably be better left to the author (it complicates the book as such has some drawbacks too), I think that it make sense at least to provide a supplement with Perl overview in future editions.
Another minor thing: using pine as a newsreader as in Chapter 9 is fine if you are limited to the command line. If not, than Netscape Communicator (in its Mozilla incarnation) is much more user friendly and easier to use program.
All-in-all I hope everybody who is trying to master Linux will appreciate the level of insight into this pretty complex environment that this book provides. It beats similar books not only by weight :-). IMHO this book is as close to a classic Linux book as one can get.

I also somewhat doubt that Red Hat should be called GNU/Linux system :-)
This edition is a result of polishing the material in three previous editions and that shows. For example in the Chapter 2 (p.23) the author mentions the problem of using Ctrl-Z by the beginners who attempt to undo some command line changes. But this is not a Windows environment and that actually postpone the program -- a very puzzling situation for beginners for which very few Unix beginner books authors provide a helpful advice. Another example of attention to details is that this is one of the few intro Unix books that recommends a reasonable .profile file that make Solaris/Unix more user friendly. All-in-all tremendous amount of useful tips can be found in almost any chapter and this attention to details really make this book an outstanding example of the introductory Unix textbook.
Another excellent feature of the book is that Solaris/Unix command line environment is studied along with X windows environment. such an approach is more modern than pure command line approach and it provides additional insights into how best use Solaris/Unix in a particular circumstances. For example I am convinced that the approach adopted in the book of using X-based editors first is an improvement over traditional methods of introducing students to vi from the beginning. In this case beginners can postpone struggling with vi until they get to speed with command line and that experience can simplify mastering vi features and permit to study vi in more depth. We should not forget than most people study Solaris/Unix after they learn Windows and Sobell's book in one of the few that make necessary adjustments for this situation.
What I really like about Mark Sobell's Unix books is that all of them contain two parts:
A very good price for 1K well written pages ;-). Well known authors. Stan Kelly-Bootle ([email protected]) -- a famous author of Understanding Unix and The Computer Contradictionary
Good Reference Book, June 29, 2000A good thing about this book is that it is very patient; the author assumes that you have absolutely NO experience in computers. He is pretty elaborate even covering on how to enter a command in UNIX. He says it like this: Press the characters on the keyboard in a sequence that matches the name of the command you want to use and press ENTER button.
The purpose of the book wasn't to tell you EVERYTHING. Rather, it is designed to get you comfortable with UNIX so you can advance if you want. But this book already has plenty of information to start doing some productive work in UNIX. Overall, I recommend any later Solbell's book instead of this one if you are new to UNIX and just want an easy, no -frills guide. If you are interested in Solaris then the author Solaris book will be much better value.
This decent book. some parts of it (User classification(9.1),
how to write your resume(10.4), etc) are unique. Generally just those
two chapters(Ch.9 and 10) worth the price of the book. Here is the review
that catch the essence but put it in a negative way because reviewer did not
understand the fact that this is a reference book. In certain aspects this book
competes with Unix Tools.

| My statistics: out of 36 topics in the first 3 chapters 22 are covered superficially or wrongly in my view; 11 I would label "OK", out of which 6 were completely new for me; I stopped counting after that. This book offers a "How-To" rather than systematic approach; the scripts are mostly shells with some occasional perl. One more frustration - given as generic, commands are very often platform-specific without mentioning the platform. The general impression is that most of this knowledge is approx. pre-1995 (the year when the crowd noticed the Internet) - however it does include still relevant ideas; the chapter on security looks especially shallow in the year 2000. In brief, it is as interesting and as frustrating as watching another sysadmin working. After copying a few tips, I will not keep it. |
Average Customer Review: ****
Average and grossly overpriced. Very poor index. Also the stuff on troff,
mm, etc., is just a waste. I haven't seen anyone use those dinosaurs in a while.
Perl is absent. Never buy this book for $20. The main problem
is that there are not that many good examples. Even in comparison with Solaris
man pages it does not shine ;-) In 1994 such a book (for $10) was half decent.
Now it's simply junk. Here is one review from Amazon with which I agree:

| If you're a beginner
or even casual user of Unix then steer clear of this book. While
the information contained within is excellent, it's more suited towards
experienced users as it's not very well explained.
Also a major fault is the incredibly poor index. Frankly, it's one of the worst I've ever seen in any computer book. Pathetic. Instead of just indexing the terms, the descriptives should be listed as well. ... ... ... |
