 This book shows its age–it was written in 1989–in its chapters about Unix's "present" status and about networking. The information about Usenet is dated, and there's no mention of Solaris or the relative merits of Unix and Windows NT. Still, these shortcomings don't overshadow the book's strengths, which make //Life with Unix: A Guide for Everyone// a good side dish for any strong Unix reference. //–David Wall// This book shows its age–it was written in 1989–in its chapters about Unix's "present" status and about networking.
