Mac OS X Tiger
Andy Lester, Chris Stone, Chuck Toporeck, Jason McIntosh,
Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell, O'Reilly
This addition to the Nutshell series brings the usual no-nonsense
wide coverage to Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) and tells you pretty much all
you need to know, or rather reminds you, as the wide coverage is
on the terse side for people who are starting with absolutely no
knowledge at all.
The book has a Unix command reference followed by sections on
the Terminal (console) and the Bash shell. After that are sections
about text editing and processing, OS X management, which includes
such things as Directory Services and Running Network Services.
The books in this series have long been a desktop books for people involved in
System Administration but they, and this one too, could be useful for
anyone wanting to get more from their systems, and who usually go
glassy-eyed when wading through beginners' books loaded with
uninteresting trivialities.
