Description
Unlike so many books that focus on how to use Linux, Linux and the Unix Philosophy explores the "way of thinking that is Linux" and why
Linux is a superior implementation of this highly capable operating system.
This book is a revision and expansion of a computer science
classic. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated with Linux coverage.
Linux and the Unix Philosophy falls squarely between the "softer"
texts on iterative software design and project management and the "how-to" technical texts. Thus far, no one has come out with a book
that addresses this topic, either in the Unix space or the Linux space. Linux and the Unix Philosophy covers the same ground as the first
edition, while it also presents bold new ideas about Linux and Open Source.
Audience
System administrators who are interested in installing Linux in their environments. The Linux "community." Linux enthusiasts. Linux hobbyists.
Computer science students. "Open Source" software advocates.
