This is designed to be a browser's book...like a magazine that you don't read from start to finish, but leaf through repeatedly until you realize that you've read itall. Sidebars explore syntax or point out other directions for exploration, including relevant technical details that might not be immediately apparent. The book includes articles abstracted from other O'Reilly books, new information that highlights program tricks and gotchas, tips posted to the Net over the years, and other accumulated wisdom. The book provides access to information every Unix user is going to need to know. It should help you think creatively about UNIX, and will help you get to the point where you can analyze your own problems. Also included is information on Linux, Darwin, and BSD, bash, zsh, and other new shells, along with discussions about modern utilities and applications. Several sections focus on security and Internet access. There is a new chapter on access to Unix from Windows, and expanded coverage of software installation and packaging, as well as basic information on Perl and Python.
