Unix in a Nutshell is the standard desktop reference, without question (Manpages come in a close second). With clean layout and superior command tables available at a glance, O'Reilly's third edition of Nutshell is an essential to own. Like a dictionary, Unix in a Nutshell helps you find what you need, even if you're not exactly sure what it is you're looking for (or how to spell it!) With that in mind, this book is for intermediate to advanced users only--those new to the Unix operating system would be better off with Learning the Unix Operating System or Unix: Visual Quickstart Guide.
The last full revision of the book was in 1992, and the new edition covers Solaris 7, as well as newer versions of shells (ksh, in particular), RCS and GNU emacs. Topping off at over 500 pages, Unix in a Nutshell contains--literally--everything you could want to know about the various commands, shells and functions. Fifty new commands have been added to the already sizable lists, and even the most seasoned user is likely to find a timesaving command not previously known. --Jennifer Buckendorff
