The Unix System Administration Handbook, versions 1,2,3 have been the MOST useful books I have ever had the privilege to deal with. I have kept old copies because you never know when you will find an Ultrix system that needs a serial port terminal still. From the many people who I have met who have worked with Dr? Nemeth, she is a wonderful person to have learned from... always challenging and encouraging people to meet their full potential.

Thankyou for your books.. I hope you have fun sailing.

I was lucky enough for the USAH to be my first Unix book. It was all that I needed to find my way around my first Linux system and to dig the Unix philosophy in the process. Thank you, Evi!

Thanks a lot to Evi from me as well.
The book in Russian translation happened to be very useful for me when I was learning Unix (FreeBSD, Linux, and some others).

Indeed a great book, one of my first purchases out of College. I just blew the dust off the 1989 copy on my office bookshelf and noticed it was right next to AEleen's Essential System Administration. I remember hitting USAH quite a bit for everything from Usenet to crufty mail configs.

So another thanks to Evi.

1) There's a 3d edition??

2) I have my first and second, as well.

3) Didn't realize you'd worked with her, Jon. Cool.
