in reply to Homework Questions Wanted

If shell/sysadmin stuff is the focus, this might be a better choice than the O'RLY books (or at least a choice to augment lessons and a good book to have sitting around the office): Minimal Perl; it is *nix-centric.

    Your Mother,
    Perl for System Administration is already on our list of resources and we will add Minimal Perl - thank you. We don't want to restrict the "homework" to just sysadmin tasks as these are things that truly are intended to be worked from home. While it most be the most applicable and tangible, not everyone has an AIX server at home to play with - besides, variety is the spice of life.

    Cheers - L~R
