Full Discussion: Want to learn Unix on PB
Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Want to learn Unix on PB Post 51763 by MortonM33 on Sunday 30th of May 2004 10:10:32 PM

Want to learn Unix on PB
I've got a 15" PB running Panther and I truly want to delve into the Unix base. I want to learn what is going on under my system and I want to learn how to be able to work in the Unix environment. I've had some experience with Redhat and Mandrake Linux, so I'm not afraid of the shell prompt. I'd like to know of any beginner tutorials or books for learning the Unix under-workings of OS X so that I can at least begin to learn on something I already have access to.

I'm also interested in programming, but I'd like to learn some Unix before I begin programming. I'm also more of a network oriented type of person, so that is one of the main reasons that I'm interested in the open source Unixes and Linux.

Thanks in advance,
-Matt
