This is a 1994 book about the many woes that Unix derived systems brought to sysadmins that were used to other solutions. Considering the number of commands that Linux still uses, it’s definitely worth a read.

    I worked in a university Computer Science dept from about 1998-2002. Most of the labs were a combo of Solaris and Windows based machines. All the big time computing was done on super fancy Sun hardware. Sometime around 2001 I was part of a team that set up the first Linux based lab machines that students could use. It was a lot of work to get it all integrated but hardware was so much cheaper and so many students were running it themselves that it made sense. I was glad to help out as I had been a Linux user since I first installed Slackware from floppy disk on my 386.
