Thank % you ... % Howdee, If you have about $50 close at hand I'd strongly suggest getting yourself a copy of O'Reilly publishers "Unix Power Tools". From a getting to know Unix standpoint I'd have to say this book is one of the best. Any investment in O'Reilly literature is most sound and well worth it! Now if you are looking into Unix platform specifics such as freebsd I'd strongly suggest "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey. This bit of literature is clear, concise and wholeheartedly pertinent to the bsd flavored platforms. Of course, there are dozens of books relating to getting to know unix in 30 days, etc. Your preferences in literature will most surely determine your choices as well. I've had both books for quite some time now and they have always been an valuable tool, quick at hand, when I'm in that ever-present pinch... - Bill --------------------------------oOo------------------------------------ William J.
