O'Reilly is known for its strong Unix titles, from Learning the UNIX Operating System to Unix in a Nutshell. Here, O'Reilly gathers its Unix titles on one conveniently searchable CD-Rom, which will be great news for those who prefer online help to printed pages. The six books included are Learning the UNIX Operating System, 4th Edition, Unix in a Nutshell, Unix Power Tools, sed & awk, Learning the Korn Shell, and Learning the Vi Editor, 6th Edition.
The books are formatted in HTML, fully searchable and cross-referenced, and can be read by any Web browser. There's a handy master index for the entire library--and a bonus copy of Unix in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition for those who miss the feel of paper.--Acton Lane

UNIX CD Bookshelf
Rated out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2007
An invaluable tool for the UNIX professional. Not so many hints, tips and tricks as in V2.1 but better at the real stuff. -
Excellent book for getting off the ground
Rated out of 5 stars, September 12th, 2005
Any one or two of these books would cost more than this six-pack. And the CD-ROM is good for cut and past operations. The nice thing about this set is that as things progress and you diversify into other subjects, as perl you never lose the core skills that are displayed on this CD. The vi editor is always present and more powerful than the passing fads like emacs, which will be, replace in due time. And yes I thing each shell has its strength; however after the Borurne shell, The Korn shell is the most prolific. Now for those that think the tcsh and bash shells are in now are already behind as most shells regardless of what you type are based on the POSIX.2 standard. Even thought I have a gazillion reference books, this is nice because it is on line. -
Just buy it!

This CD is an invaluable tool, even to experienced sysadmins. Having the whole lot searchable online is very useful, as is the ability to cut and paste examples. -
Unix knowledge in your pocket instead of a suitcase
Rated out of 5 stars, June 12th, 2000
This collection is a must for all administrators. Having so much Unix documentation on one CD that can be read wherever a browser can be found, is more than worth the money.This CD has helped me out numerous times both to learn new things and to refresh and jog my memory . There is so much to Unix that this CD is indispensable. I would recommend it to anyone who administers Unix systems.
