Learning Unix

Hin · #1 (**permalink**) 10-14-2007

Hi all, and thanks for viewing this thread.

I have never used the terminal (UNIX) before, not until I read an introductory book about it: Unix for Mac OS X Tiger. Now I've become intrigued, and I want to uncover more of the mysteries of Unix. I've searched and searched, but there are many books that talk about Unix. I'm interested in overall general UNIX, troubleshooting problems, tasks automation, and activating hidden features (For instance, typing "defaults write com.apple.dock showhidden -bool true" makes hidden apps semitransparent.), and perhaps in the distant future: system adminstration.

Please bear in mind that I have looked at the Answers to Frequently Asked Questions forum, and I haven't seen recent (all the posts range from 2000-2002) posts about great books. 7-5 years is a very long period.

I am using Mac OS X Tiger. I'd appreciate it if someone recommends me a book that corresponds to my needs.

Thanks in advanced.
