About the Book

Now that you know what you have to know about UNIX, take the next step: maximize your productivity with this fully integrated book-and-Web learning system. In the Advanced UNIX User's Interactive Workbook, you get hands-on training for the key skills that make basic UNIX users into power users! You'll master sending, receiving, and checking for UNIX-based email; and working with UNIX networking utilities (including telnet and ftp). Next, learn how to edit with Emacs; working with the most popular UNIX archiving formats; and comparing files and directories. Learn how and when to customize your environment -- including shell startup files, shell scripts, basic shell programming, and X configuration. Master advanced file and permission techniques, including special file permissions and mounted file systems; then learn powerful vi techniques you won't find in any other book. Like every Prentice Hall PTR Interactive Workbook, this book is fully integrated with its own exclusive Web site, with all this: "Test Your Thinking" project solutions and explanations, a personal link to the book's author, a Virtual Study Lounge, and more!
