This may be what you're looking for: Think Unix Jon Lasser QUE published in 2000 From the Intro: "... I mean that you will learn to solve problems the way that UNIX was designed to do things, rather than just muddling through. You will learn the logical structure of the operating system -- its grammer, if you will." On the back page: "Unix is not a piece of software so much as a set of concepts, a way of looking at and solving problems. Think Unix teaches how to use Unix effectively for everyday tasks by teaching the design model." "...you will find the conceptual underpinnings and theories common to virtually all Unix systems, components, and software packages." The examples are based on Redhat 6.1 using BASH as the default shell, so don't let the title scare you away. -- Mike At 09:29 PM 9/5/01, Adam Wolkoff wrote: >I'm a linux newbie. I want to learn more.
