Getting a Grip on UNIX
New Ventana Voodoo shatters UNIX mystique

CHAPEL HILL, NC--Voodoo UNIX packed with timesaving tricks and insider
tips, continues the Ventana Voodoo tradition by explaining away this
powerful operating system's hobgoblins and revealing productivity secrets.
Devoid of unnecessary detail and technical jargon, Voodoo UNIX helps
ordinary UNIX users become faster and more efficient at their work.

Authors Charlie Russel and Sharon Crawford dispel the image of the aloof
UNIX expert with humorous commentary, such as describing UNIX installation
as an arcane art form and suggesting OhiHacp (Oh, how I hate all computer
programmers) as a sample password. Empathetic remarks aside, Voodoo UNIX
provides practical advice and solutions for a variety of challenging UNIX
tasks on every page. Topics include:

** Unveiling UNIX--getting going and getting help; shells, spells and
security secrets; finding files and losing fears. 

** Divining vi--moving around and moving text; command mode vs. edit mode;
desktop makeovers and masterful macros. 

** Exploiting X Windows--opening windows; mouse magic; designing the
desktop; exploring existing X programs.

** Miscellaneous alchemy--utilizing UNIX utilities and printer
prestidigitation; preventing disaster and saving the day; awk, perl, sed
and other secret spells.

** Connectivity conjury--communicating with non-UNIX computers; file
sharing; remote login; network commands.
