UNIX Complete is a one-of-a-kind computer book -- valuable both for its broad content and its low price. This book contains the essentials you need to know about using the popular operating system of universities and research centers, as well as at many Fortune 500 companies. Enormously powerful, UNIX is also complex enough to require that users first read a tutorial and then keep a reference handy for specialized commands.





With UNIX Complete, you'll learn how to get the most out of UNIX System V -- from building file systems to connecting to remote computers and the Internet, and using mainstream programs.





As you become more proficient with UNIX, you'll find the UNIX System V Desk Reference to be an invaluable daily tool. This comprehensive reference quickly puts every command, option, and concept at your fingertips.





UNIX Complete introduces you to the work of some of Sybex's finest authors, so you'll know where to go to learn even more about what's possible with UNIX.
