Major sections are: + + UNIX in Time - Usual trash plus history of user groups, + universities, with a comprehensive "who's who" in + UNIX history. Present & Future deals with where + UNIX is now and where its going - companies, + standards and dialects are treated at length. + + UNIX Information - How people really learn about UNIX. + Discussion of books, magazines, conferences, and, of + course, source code. + + Inside UNIX - In-depth descriptions of UNIX from three + different perspectives - user, programmer and + adminstrator. + + Outside UNIX - Third-party stuff. Discussions of how UNIX + has prospered/withered in face of real-world problems. + Underground - archives, USENET, public access UNIX, + GNU, MINIX, public-domain and/or free software, etc. + + This book is quite unusual, not only because of its scope, but + because it prints things that have never appeared in print (for one + reason or another) - things that most people don't realize or find + until years after they have used UNIX. It is essentially a + "reading between the lines" of all the other UNIX manuals, books + and magazines. Lastly, "Life With UNIX" is chock full of amusing + UNIX stories and anecdotes, all designed to provide you with key + insights into why UNIX is the way it is. "Life with UNIX" is a + must book for UNIX beginners to UNIX gurus. + + { Best! Best! Best! Hooray -- loved it!!!
