I haven't read either...I normally find what I need in the handbook or
friends. But...if I may make another suggestion, the BSD Hacks book,
by Dru Lavigne published by O'Reilly, has some really nice tips in it.
I got it a few days ago and have been skimming it...so far it's
pretty cool. A colleague said that he's found a few errors, but just
like any other reference, check what you read. If you are going to
look at getting any O'Reilly book tho, try getting it from Amazon or
BookPool...it's silly to pay full price for them. :)
Hope this helps!
