5.0 out of 5 stars I no longer have to take a deap breath & type man ....., 10 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Cheers I no longer live in fear of man. My scripts are smaller. I now use emacs & RCS (and am in danger of delving deeper into gnu). I always keep copy next to terminal and associates know better than to borrow it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of useful info in a small space, 1 May 1999
By A Customer
A good book is nice, but a good, concise book is a treasure. That's what "UNIX in a Nutshell" is. It's the first place I go for the "five cent tour" of UNIX commands or utilities. The examples are excellent. Highly recommended for intermediate and advanced users.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
It may sound easy to write a book like this. But if you want to make sure all and only those important commands and their usages are selected, it takes a lot of time. Read more
