Von Sean Burke
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a very good, very carefully researched, and a must-read for anyone who ever even wondered about the history of Unix.
However, I can't get over the price -- like US$30 for a pretty thin little book that's simply a for-fun read.

This book is an excellent overview of the history of Unix. It will help you to understand how Unix came to be, and how it came to be split up into so many different versions. A must for every Unix nerd.
Von Zhaohui Yang
Format:Taschenbuch
One of the reason I like this book is, more than 50% of the text is interview with scores of UNIX developers and early enthusiasts. Unlike other books filled with authors' historical anaylsts and poetic comments, this book reads like an UNIX man page: give you the information you needed and not confuse you.END

You must own this book. Period.
There are numerous reference books for Unix, the operating system of choice for the computer-aware. This book, though, brings Unix to life. Lesen Sie weiter...
