This “QuickPro” title represents the quickest way for students who have mastered the flavors, commands, and technical jargon surrounding Unix, are comfortable working from within the command line, and are now itching to take their Unix skills to the next level. Using the same task-based teaching style and easy visual approach employed in their best-selling Unix: Visual QuickStart Guide, veteran authors Deborah Ray and Eric Ray do more than just enumerate commands here. In these pages, they show students how to combine and synthesize those commands to take full advantage of all of Unix¹s functionality. The focus here is on advanced Unix security, networking, and system administration. In addition, the authors take a good, hard look at using the Xwindows system to harness Unix¹s power in the GUI world. By the time students reach the end of this volume, they¹ll be solving problems, administering systems, and running Xwindows competently—in short, tapping all of Unix¹s power.
