Working with Unix English 2003

Unix. Born in the dark and somber portals of Bell laboratories, it was a dream that one man nurtured and cherished. Like a parent, he reared the infant with compassion and zeal. And as the fledgling grew and spread its wings, it caught the attention of the world. What had begun as a sequel to the failure of multics, became a force to reckon with in the modern world. The scholars raved, the universities were bowled over, and a golden Chapter began in the annals of multi-user computing. Unix had arrived. This book is a journey through the vast expanse of unix. A tryst with its powerful commands, at both the basic and advanced levels. It also takes a detour into the depths of borne shell programming and system administration. It breaks through the aura of erudition and complexity that unix is bestowed with. With a lucid explanation of technical concepts and the commands based on them, It seeks to unravel the human face of unix. With enough landmarks along the way, it's a smooth journey through the portals of power.
