Unix for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger - a Book

A very complete beginner's guide to Unix.

This is the completely revised, second edition, for Mac OS X 10.4.

Mac OS X is the greatest advance in desktop computing since the original Mac interface - only this time the advance is under the hood. OS X is a version of Unix. Unix is the industrial-stength operating system that runs most of the Internet servers such as Amazon, Google, Technorati, and Yahoo, and now you have a full-fledged version of Unix in your Macintosh.

This book assumes no prior Unix experience and yet provides more detail than any other beginning Unix book of which I am aware.

I hope you will check out this book and if you are an experienced Unix user, pass it on to the beginners in your neighborhood.

Access

You can order the book from Amazon and Bookpool.

I have put a pre-publication version of Appendix A - Darwin-Only Unix Commands on this web site. The page lists command-line programs that are found only or almost only on Darwin, the Open Source version of Unix used in Mac OS X.

PDF and other files from the first edition are available here.
