Author: Shelley Powers, Jerry Peek, Tim O,Reilly & Mike Loukides

Publisher: O,Reilly

ISBN: 0-596-00330-7

Unix power tools is one of those unusual books which is a cross referenced collections of generic (Unix/Linux) snippets. A book written and revised over the years, if your new to supporting or administering servers, this book  will become a constant companion, a book to be written in, highlighted and filled with post it notes. The real value in the book it the cross indexining just the the (man) documentation. Not a book to read from cover to cover, but definitely one to refer to and dip in.
