Introduction |
|
Here are my recommendations for books Unix, an excellent platform to run webservers: I own the first two books myself, and I use them a lot (as coffee stains illustrate). |

Unix for Dummies
|
||
Background |
Some people think 'Dummies' in a title is insulting; I simply think we're all dummies about
something. The Dummies books (at least the computer series) generally contain good, solid information in easily
digestible chunks and this one certainly does. This is the book I use to learn the basics about Unix from (I've learned some of them
by now, but not all of them). (I have the 1997 edition.) When I need more details, I grab the 'Nutshell' book below.

Unix in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference for SVR4 and Solaris 7 (3rd Edition)
|
||
Background |
Not a text book to learn Unix from but a handy reference and great to find more details once
you've learned the basics of a command. Covers Unix and many of the utilities that come with it. This one has the most coffeestains,
since I use it a lot in spite of the fact that the publishing date is the oldest.

Essential System Administration, 2nd Edition: Nutshell Handbook
|
||
Background |
I've put this book on my wishlist: if you cannot just use a Unix system set
up for you by a system administrator but have to do (some) administration yourself, this book has a lot to offer. From O'Reilly, so the
content is almost guaranteed to be solid. Don't be misled by the publication date, but have a look at the recent user reviews at Amazon.com!

Learning the Unix Operating System, 5th Edition: Nutshell Handbook
|
||
Background
|
Yet another O'Reilly offering about Unix. If you don't like the "Dummies's" books style or humor,
this would probably your best bet to get started with Unix. Hot off the press!
