The Unix-Haters Handbook Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the aged-liked-a-fine-win dept.

kinema writes "It looks like The UNIX-Hater's Handbook has been made availible online for free. You'll never guess who's server it is on." Worth noting that the book was written some time ago, and that much of what is in there is ancient history. But still worth a look.

    The link has been removed until the "brou-ha-ha on Slashdot to dies down". If you go to the google cache to get the link, you will get a "forbidden" error when you try to use it. Lucky, the pdf of the book is in the Google Cache.

    Hi everybody

    Here's a copy of that infamous book : http://members.aol.com/Seb0013/uhh.pdf

    Sorry for the delay, it took time to remember i had some disk space on a site which has decent bandwidth and which i don't mind being slashdotted.

    Unix is the future.

    That's a pretty uninformed assessment. See David K. Every's excellent essay on the subject for some relevant info.

    Although one factor he fails to emphasize enough is that, for various political and business reasons, Apple was forced to start over several times (first Pink, then Copland, etc.)
