Universal Command Guide for Operating Systems

The ultimate operating system reference: Over 8,000 commands and 57,000 command options from every major operating system--Windows. UNIX. Linux. NetWare. Macintosh. DOS. If you're a systems professional, chances are you're pretty familiar with commands in at least one of these operating systems. But what happens when you need to get up to speed on an operating system you don't know? This ingenious reference will have you up and running in no time. It describes and illustrates every command in every commonly used operating system, and cross-references each command to the equivalent commands in other operating systems. The Universal Command Guide for Operating Systems bridges the gap between all operating systems by cross-referencing commands between the many different operating systems that exist today.

All major operating systems are covered and fully referenced, including IBM AIX 4.3.3; Sun Solaris 7 and 8; Red Hat Linux 7.0; OpenBSD 2.7; NetWare 3.12, 4.11, 5.1, and 6; DOS 6.22; Windows 95, 98, Me, XP, NT 4 Workstation, NT 4 Server, NT 4 Terminal Server, 2000 Professional, 2000 Server, 2000 Advanced Server; and Mac OS 9.1.

About the Author

Guy Lotgering began using computers in 1979 with an Apple II. His first IBM PC computer was built by his father, but Guy continued using and building his own computers throughout the ’80s during the IBM PC revolution. In the early ’90s Guy studied programming, but ended up working in networking. He installed Novell NetWare and Windows NT networking systems and related network services for companies and government agencies throughout the United States. Guy has over 20 years experience with computers and is certified in many technologies including certificates in programming (C, C+, COBOL, RPG), Microsoft (MCSE), Novell (CNE3, CNE4, CNE5), and A+. In 1999, Guy moved to Sweden to continue his career in networking and specialized with UNIX systems. Guy had experience with UNIX and Linux in the past but needed more knowledge to be as comfortable in UNIX as he is with Novell and Microsoft products. There was no tool that documented the similarities of the many different operating systems. This was the motivation for writing the Universal Command Guide for Operating Systems. Guy had never written a book before, but has always had a passion for teaching people about computers and networking technologies. Guy, on his own personal time, has taught and helped over 25 people to become certified Microsoft and Novell engineers. Guy is a gifted teacher who has the ability to break down complicated networking topics, making then easier to understand and more fun to learn.
