Title: is this book UNIX for eunochs or what ?
Product review: I bought this book because I'm trying to get OS X to use a NFS mount off of a FreeBSD server - amongst other things. (Unix gurus will understand the irony of this seeing as how Apple OS X is based on FreeBSD - hello Jordan).Well, the book falls far short of allowing me to do this. What it does explain is great, unfortunately it fails to hit the spot in a number of key respects. Lots of the things that can't be done from the GUI are also not possible from the command line after reading this book.Just consider this, a unix instruction book that doesn't tell you how to mount a NFS export from a unix host - get real. This means that the only network resources you can join after reading this book are Microsoft ones - which does somehow defeat the object of buying a PC that doesn't run Windows. Oh and you can connect to MS networks' shares from the GUI without this book.Not very impressed . . .
