Title: Avoid this book : too little , no linux , too proprietary
Product review: This book is best avoided.Around 1/3rd of the book is elementary introductory stuff about NT and Unix. The rest is about proprietary versions of Unix and various items of commercial software. The author is employed by SCO and SCO products feature very very very very prominently in this poor excuse for a book. It also shows you pretty pictures of Hummingbird Exceed. It has a worthless discussion of the X Windowing system at a level that moved me to tears of disgust.Amazingly, Linux has just a few lines. Samba has about one page.This book is outdated and not worth the shelf space. Save your money.Stick to O'Reilley books. If you absolutely have to read this wretched book, borrow it from some university library.
