CSC students: get Safari

A fantastic resource available to all of us through the NVCC library is the Safari collection of books. They come from all kinds of publishers and you can buy access for a year for $100 or so (last time I looked) or get it for free from NVCC. If you're at a computer on the campus network, you can get right there through a link on this page; if you're not, then you use remote access through another link on the same page.

For students in 100 and 201, I recommend the book on Unix shell scripts by Quigley. It's got way more than we can use in the short term; I will refer to Chapter 2.6 on Monday. See also the second chapter of the book by Beebe. And Chapter 7 of the Red Hat 4 book by McCarty.

The book Linux Desktop Hacks has loads of quick-and-(not even) dirty things to do either in the shell or in X.
