This is a MONSTER of a book! At your finger tips you will

THIS BOOK is a monster and I mean that in a good way! I don't know about you, but there have been hundreds of times when you just don't remember or wish you had the MAN pages for Linux printed out. Sometimes using MAN to get info about a command doesn't work... By this I mean it's 2 o'clock in the morning and you just can't get the damn thing sorted out and you realize you've been reading the same chunk of screen for the past half hour and your eyes feel like they've been dipped in Ajax. Well, I don't know about you, but the old fashioned paper and ink just seem to give you you more information! This is not just the man pages though, it lists the file hierarchies, ASCII codes and in fact everything you need to know about fiddling with the system. At almost 2000 pages, this excellently typesetted book is a great addition to your Linux library. It is rated a "must have" Sections I USER COMMANDS II SYSTEM CALLS III LIBRARY FUNCTIONS IV SPECIAL FILES V FILE FORMATS VI GAMES VII MISCELLANEOUS VIII ADMINISTRATION AND PRIVILEGED COMMANDS IX KERNEL REFERENCE GUIDE
