simple book question
hello good folks..
ive been looking for a forum to ask this question and this may be as good as
it gets. a simple one. a suggestion.
im in the process of learning as much as i can about unix, linux and debian.
starting out in the beginning (like one should) im reading a book called
"The UNIX Programming Environment" by Kerningham and Pike. my guess is that
you all are familiar with it. nb: quite something when a book written in
1984 is still quite valuable today!
in the book they keep mentioning a 2 volume set of books called "The UNIX
Programmer's Manual". the books run about ~45-50 US$ and im just wondering:
are they worth it? i would recommend "The UNIX Programming Environment" to
anyone. should i drop the coins on "The UNIX Programmer's Manual" VOL I &
II?
thanks a bunch. i figure that if any folks were to know the answer,
debian-devel would be a good place to look (start).
again, thanks for your time.. best wishes ~ari

there a better list to look at?
