| Unix is a multi-tasking and multi-user computer operating system which was designed to provide good security to the systems. This operating system was developed by some employees of AT&T in Bell Labs. Infact Linux derives much of its basic design from principles established in Unix. So if you want to dig deep in Linux, then knowledge of Unix is always an advantage and to help you to do that, we bring to you 33 ebooks on Unix and that too free! |  |
