Appendix A. Learn More About Unix: Reference

Now that you are familiar with the operation of Unix, you can continue to learn more by visiting online resources. The Internet is an excellent resource to find information on Unix and Linux. I hope that this list is a gateway into the endless sea of what is out there. Make sure you continue your studies with Unix and practice as much as possible. Remember, the more you practice, the easier it gets. As soon as you know the commands cold, your control of Unix strengthens. I have also included some websites of Unix and Linux vendors; most have helpful tutorials and online documentation. These websites offer valuable information for specific operating systems. For example, if you were running Sun Solaris and needed to know Unix-based commands that may be specific to that operating system, you would want to visit the Sun website (http://www.sun.com). I also provided a few links to Linux vendors who sell inexpensive desktop operating systems that are full-blown versions of Linux. Linux is similar to Unix, so if you can manage Linux, install it and practice as much as you can; your mastery of Unix will come quickly. In addition to reading a book like this, you can find more information on the following websites:
