The best book on 4.4 BSD
Rated out of 5 stars, October 12th, 1999
I don't know why nobody has submitted a rating for this book (it's the same at the US Amazon site), especially as BSD based systems are becoming more and more common as the Internet grows.So I'll submit a review:
This is probably the best book on BSD Unix available. I can guarantee you'll read it more than once.
Basically, you should buy this book if you are interested in the Internet (BSD is THE TCP/IP implementation), or Operating Systems principles in general.
And last, but not least: you can buy a BSD based operating system for a PC for about the same price (in sterling) of the book!
