| I'm looking for the "Master Yoda" of technical UNIX/LINUX books? I'm really interested in finding a book that is really deep into UNIX. I have the Hints & Hacks book. I need a book that's not for beginners but for a mid-level or Jr. UNIX Admin level. Thanks for the feedback!!!! | |

| There's like a gazillion unix books out there. I've never found the perfect book. That's why I have a shelf of unix books. I suggest going to a used book store in your area (gotta be a bunch in Philly) start a collection of your own.
a few:
Unix Power Tools by Tim O'reilly (Random House)
Linux Administration (a beginners Guide) by Steve Shah (Osborne)
Linux Unleashed (SAMS)
Unix System Administrator's Companion by Michael Ault (Wiley)
Exploring the Unix System by Kochan & Wood (SAMS) | |

| The books that I use mainly are:
1) UNIX Power Tools
2) Advanced programming In The UNIX Environment
3) Design and Implementation of FreeBSD
4) UNIX System Administration Handbook
5) Linux Device Drivers
6) K&R
7) programming Perl
8) Understanding The Linux Kernel
I find that these are basically all that I need. Some are kind of dated, but all are still very good guides and handbooks. | |

| 1. Unix Powertools
2. The FreeBSD Handbook http://freebsd.org/handbook
3. The Complete FreeBSD
I use http://google.com/bsd and http://google.com/linux more then any of these though.
At the moment I'm also reading "Perl for Dummies" which IMO is a very good intro to this language. If you don't already know a programing language, learnig one will help you out a lot in Unix. I tried reading an O'Reilly Python book before and it kept making references to C which doesn't help much if you're trying to learn your first programming languages. This is the only O'Reilly book that I haven't been pleased with. Most things that O'Reilly puts out are good. |
