This is a 1994 book about the many woes that Unix derived systems brought to sysadmins that were used to other solutions. Considering the number of commands that Linux still uses, it’s definitely worth a read.

    [W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

    I like the foreword so far.

    A classic! Way back when it used to be recommended on #linux as a good introductory text (until O’Reilly started publishing books on Linux, anyway).

    As Unix is pushed to do more and more, it instead becomes less and less

    That’s a pretty good pun of it was deliberate
