About this title

Synopsis:

UNIX Unleashed, Internet Edition and UNIX Unleashed, System Administrator's Edition are an in-depth examination of the UNIX operating system. Written by experts, they include real-world examples, definitions, tips and tricks. Between them, these two volumes cover the specifics of the most popular UNIX variants and the use of UNIX as a full-fledged Internet server platform.

• Complete and comprehensive; no other book has this much breadth, depth and real-world examples
• This edition focuses on the Internet components of UNIX, enabling the reader to make UNIX his/her launch-pad for interactive Internet services, with a jump-start on security
• Teaches the reader to program UNIX with Awk, Perl, C and C++, and to extend these skills to CGI web development
• The user will master graphical user interfaces from both the end-user and programmer perspectives

Review:

The first edition of Unix Unleashed provided a thick, comprehensive guide to the basic tools of the Unix trade, covering everything from system administration to the windowing system to the compiler environments. The guide also featured information on other tools, such as the vi editor, the command shells, the AWK, PERL, C and C++ languages, and instructions on text formatting, version control, and security features.

The current edition improves on earlier releases with a beefy section on Internet technologies--the HTTP protocol, Web servers, CGI programming, MIME, and even a basic guide to HTML. Sections addressing specific issues with particular implementations of Unix, including Advanced Interactive Executive (AIX), Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, and SVR4 round out this handy reference guide. The book also includes a jargon glossary and copious FAQ document in case any or all of these topics are completely unfamiliar. Finally, the book includes a CD-ROM with a full binary release version of FreeBSD 2.2.5, Linux Red Hat 4.2 release for x86, Perl 5.x, a host of utilities, and an electronic version of both this book and its companion System Administrator's Edition.
