Indeed, they are. I don't quite understand what you meant by that. As I said in my previous post, I only have an introductory background and not a firm base. I'd appreciate it if someone recommends me a book that corresponds to my interests/needs. Any great book about UNIX (from a mac os x perspective) will suffice. :-)
