This book continues to be one of the most used ones on my desk, exceeded in use only by the Perl in a Nutshell and a couple of Java references. Although much of the material herein can be gleaned from the man pages, having it all in one concise reference like this is invaluable. It might not be totally necessary for you to buy this updated reference if you have the previous edition, but if youare still seeking a concise and useable reference to UNIX, look no further.
