Heh, yes. Nice book.
However, I don't understand many of the criticisms pointed at Unix in 
the book. A lot of the things which the book points out as being "bad" 
are things I love so much about Unix. Many of the quirks in commands 
doing tasks which they point out, have never been problematic for me either.
Maybe some would say that I am in denial, but I know what that feeling 
is when I login to my server and see my motd greeting me every morning. 
I think it's love.
