UNIX Unleashed, System Administrator's Edition

By Robin Burk and David B. Horvath
This edition of UNIX Unleashed includes a substantial amount of new information describing Internet and World Wide Web technologies in UNIX. New topics include:
  • Programming Web pages with HTML
  • Object-oriented programming in C++
  • Programming Common Gateway Interfaces (CGI) using Perl, C/C++, HTML, and the UNIX shells
  • MIME, the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension
  • HTTP, the HyperText Transfer Protocol
  • Web servers and server performance

As UNIX becomes the platform of choice for critical network and data applications, UNIX vendors have placed increased emphasis on system maturity, ease-of-use, and security capabilities. Even with the growth of Microsoft Windows NT, UNIX still has a place in the industry. It is more mature, more stable, more scaleable, and has a wider array of applications than NT. Many people claim that NT is the open operating system of the future; that may be true (I have my own personal opinion), but for now, UNIX holds that place.

We've also updated this edition of UNIX Unleashed to bring you current information regarding:

  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the most popular variants of UNIX
  • Security issues and the technologies you can use to protect your system and its information against intruders and malicious users
  • The most popular Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)

As with the original edition, we set out to bring users the most comprehensive, useful, and up-to-date UNIX guide. To meet this goal, we've added nearly two dozen new chapters and have revised much of the original material in the book. The resulting book is so large that it is now divided into two volumes. The System Administrator's Edition introduces UNIX and contains much of the information required for basic users and for systems administrators. The Internet Edition includes advanced information for programmers, Internet/Web developers, and those who need detailed information regarding specific UNIX flavors.
