Hi,

I am new to Unix Operating System and my job involves mainly working with Unix Environment and so what are some of the best resources, online/books that one would recommend for Unix.

Thanks.

From an old Unix guy, my best recommendation to a newcomer to the Unix world (who is planning to be here for a while) would be to learn the basics of vi. It has been my experience that no matter what you do, no matter where you are.. eventually you will find your self on a situation where the only editor available to you is.. vi. knowing the basics will save the day..

After that do your best to learn basic reg-ex .. believe me your live will be a lot easier.

Agreed. Spend a few weeks where vi is the only editor you use. It will probably feel painful at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad, and some people never switch once they figure out all that can be accomplished with vi commands.

I disagree with Scottie T. Once you get the hang of vi, it's a _great_editor_.

UNIX in a Nutshell was an excellent reference book for me.
