Editor's Notes and Comments:

Amazon.com Review:
If you are approaching Unix with an eye toward achieving administrator-level mastery, Inside Unix, Second Edition, mixes plenty of how-to details with the concepts you need to gain total understanding of the operating system.
Chris Hare and his co-authors open with a useful explanation of basic Unix concepts (such as kernel versus shell) and then quickly move on to explaining commands, redirection, and sorting. The authors give the text editor vi lavish coverage and give enough attention to ED to enable you to use it to get out of a jam. Inside Unix, Second Edition, details more of X Windows, Motif, and OpenWindows than other books and competently explains Bourne shell programming. The writers compare and critique the many flavors of Unix.
But Inside Unix, Second Edition, distinguishes itself in its discusion of the Unix utilities that make the Internet go. Want to configure a Domain Name Server (DNS) or see how routing is handled? You'll find the answers here, plus you'll find the most complete information on nslookup. This book includes an excellent Unix command reference and a 3.5-inch floppy disk that contains the shell programs that are introduced in the text.

Rated by buyers -
This is one of the best UNIX books ever written. Period. It's too bad that New Riders never bothered to update it, as it is kind of dated nowadays. It is still very useful, and not a waste by any means, but an update would be nice. It hits on every major aspect of UNIX and has examples. I have found things in there that I didn't find even in the Nemeth books. This belongs on every UNIX Sysadmin's bookshelf. The subsequent time I ask for some Unix and tech books at work, I will see if this or other used copies are still available and try to get them to buy it. I don't want to take mine to work because I don't want to damage it, and because it is just too big and bulky to carry back and forth.
Oh, and you have to love that cover art.....
