The Unix network programming, in the TCP/IP series, rewritten with code,
examples, environments and shell commands FOR Linux, and not only. There
is a full page map on the back showing all the systems the code
covers/refers to, besides Linux. They had to use small print for the logos
in the bubbles to fit them all in ;) If Bill Gates sees this map he is
going to need to smell salts ;)

Does not say which kind of Linux but with pthreads == fairly recent.

Neither did I until this morning. Under the bookshelf there are boxes of
Red Hat 5.0 and 5.1 (official). Not many. In front of the boxes there are
stacks of 'L98 professional companion whatnot'. I had to move them to
have a good look. The pile fell over, of course ;) Oops ;)

NIS 355 or so ;(. I got some off because I buy often. This is not the
paperback student edition, it is cartoned, like the real thing. No leather
though ;) From what I've seen inside it is worth the money imho. Someone
did some research on the real thing, this is not a theoretical treatise.
