Hi there,
what't the BEST book for learning Unix / Linux?
I mean the equivalent like what is K&R for C, Stroustrup for C++ or the JLS (Gosling) for learning
Java, Aho/Ullmann for Compilers (dragon book), Hennessy/Patternson for Computer architecture, Tanenbaum for Operating systems ... , i mean THE book of Unix / Linux.
Since the best books for a certain language / technology are always from the inventors of it and neither Ken Thompson nor Linus Torvalds have written books about Unix or Linux, this is going to be a tough one i guess...
I'm asking since I don't have the time to read more than one book for a certain topic. I like to have consice information. That's why I think for example that the C-book of K&R is still the best book on C out there. It's not even 300 pages long but it contains everything you need to know.
I read only one book and thats why this one book has to be the best book. (and not one of these 1000-page doorstoppers if possible)
Thanks in advance.
