Talk:Guide to Unix

Origins
I had maintained this list at User:Kernigh, but I am moving it here. I have been contributing to Guide to UNIX from early October to middle November. It has grown to 34 modules partly because I merged several Wikibooks modules together to form this book. These were:
 * Guide to UNIX (30 July 2005 revision)
 * BSD, a small stub
 * Linux, mostly a list of other Wikibooks and external links
 * File Compression, a module abandoned by Linux Guide
 * possibly Linux commands

Note that Linux no longer redirects to Guide to UNIX/Linux; it now points to Computing bookshelf. You can look at Linux (22 September 2005 revision) to see that page before I changed it. --Kernigh 04:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Redirects
I moved several of the Guide to UNIX chapters. For reference, here is a list of redirects which I created because of page renames. In many cases, this is the only page to link to the redirects. --Kernigh 04:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

comparison between Unix, Unix, and non-Unix
comparison between Unix, Unix, and non-Unix does not really make sense. What is meant by that? comparison between Unix, Linux & BSD, and non-Unix or comparison between Unix, Unix-like, and non-Unix? --Dietmar Lettau 03:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Guide to Unix Navigation Template
I propose changing the current template to the one that I made:

General: Introduction | Explanations | Why Unix-like Platforms: Linux | BSD Quick Reference: Commands | Environment Variables | Files | License


 * Or with out the javascript:

General: Introduction | Explanations | Why Unix-like Platforms: Linux | BSD Quick Reference: Commands | Environment Variables | Files | License
