Latest edition of "Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours"?

Dave, I second everything these guys have to say about this book. My buddy Clint and I read Unix in 24 Hours years ago when getting our first shot at being System Administrators. We have been Sysadmins ever since, and whenever teaching users how to do something in Unix, Unix in 24 Hours is "the book" I recommend to them.

Howdy Dave,

I just thought I'd point out to you and your readers that my favorite online bookstore, nerdbooks.com just got the 4th edition in and they're selling it for $15.89. That is 4 bucks cheaper then Amazon, and if you live in Dallas, TX you can pick it up there saving the shipping.

I'm getting my copy tomorrow.

And right you are, Erik. Updating the Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours web site is high on my to-do list this week! :-)

Hi,

What version/flavour of Unix did use throughout the book?

I use AIX at work but do not have a test box I can use so would like to create a VM on my PC but now sure which version I should use for this book?

Thanks,

Thanks for the question, Craig. It's been a while, but I'm pretty darn sure that it's generic Posix Unix that I wrote about for almost the entire book. I've used HP-UX, Linux, AIX, SunOS and more in my time, so I tried to have things cross-compatible...
