If you read through "sed & awk" you will get a decent introduction, and "Mastering" is a good follow-up. 'man perlre' (perl regular expressions) is a good reference in most cases; more so if you're actually using perl, of course. > I also found the K&R book, "The UNIX Programming Environment" by > Kernighan and Pike, and "UNIX Systems Programming for SVR4" from > O'Reilly.

They aren't exactly up to date, but they contain much which is still relevant. System V release 4 was one of the models for Linux. "Learning Perl" and "The Perl Cookbook" are good for Perl; you might want "UNIX System Administration", but you'll definitely want "The Debian Administrator's Handbook" at http://debian-handbook.info -dsr- -- https://randomstring.org/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference. there is no justice, there is just us. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
