In our third edition, we expanded and updated the popular UNIX in Plain English. Once again, here is the book that translates a sometimes-frustrating operating system into words and concepts that anyone can understand. UNIX in Plain English Third Edition takes the UNIX operating system--which can be obtuse and complicated--and breaks it down into easily understandable components that can be references in any number of ways: by command, by task, by DOS equivalent, and by type. No other instant UNIX command reference does this.

UNIX is an incredibly powerful operating system, but its power can be diminished when you have to wade through volumes of technical documentation just to answer a simple question. UNIX in Plain English Third Edition is your answer. It is a reference for instant access to the UNIX commands and concepts that you use every day.

Available in Russian, too.

This book is also designed as a companion to the best-selling Teach Yourself UNIX.
