Linux and the Unix Philosophy by Gancarz

Description: About this productProduct InformationUnlike so many books that focus on how to use Linux, Linux and the Unix Philosophy explores the way of thinking that is Linux and why Linux is a superior implementation of this highly capable operating system. This book is a revision and expansion of a computer science classic. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated with Linux coverage. Linux and the Unix Philosophy falls squarely between the softer texts on iterative software design and project management and the how-to technical texts. Thus far, no one has come out with a book that addresses this topic, either in the Unix space or the Linux space. Linux and the Unix Philosophy covers the same ground as the first edition, while it also presents bold new ideas about Linux and Open Source.Product IdentifiersPublisherElsevier Science & TechnologyISBN-101555582737ISBN-139781555582739eBay Product ID (ePID)2258594Product Key FeaturesNumber of Pages256 PagesLanguageEnglishPublication NameLinux and the Unix PhilosophyPublication Year2003SubjectOperating Systems / Unix, Systems Architecture / General, Operating Systems / Linux, Operating Systems / GeneralTypeTextbookSubject AreaComputersAuthorMike GancarzFormatTrade PaperbackDimensionsItem Weight14.4 OzItem Length9.2 inItem Width7 inAdditional Product FeaturesEdition Number2LCCN2003-051482Dewey Edition21Reviews"The concept of Linux and the GNU project, while appearing to be the 'next step' of the Unix Philosophy, is only the return from a wayward path. Everything stated in the Unix Philosophy's first edition is just as true today, perhaps even more so. The addition of source code availability allows you to see exactly how these masters of code created their systems, and challenges you to create even faster code with greater capabilities." -Jon "maddog" Hall, Executive Director, Linux International "By effectively linking the principles used in Unix with those used by the Linux development community, Gancarz sheds new light on the Open Source philosophy." -Henry L.
