Review:
Part one looks at installation and setup of an RS/6000 computer using AIX and the Motif graphical interface. Part two provides an intermediate level overview of a System V based UNIX environment. Part three looks at UNIX system management, including TCP/IP and Internet networking. Cohn's organization is logical and his writing contains enough humour to keep it interesting. (There is no truth to the rumour that IBM chose the Korn shell for AIX because they liked the "$" prompt.) Although directed specifically at AIX users, this could serve as a general introduction for PC users moving to any form of UNIX. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995

Review:
As the saying goes, the wonderful thing about computer standards is that there are so many to choose from. The same is true of computer benchmarks, with the added complication that said benchmarks must, by their nature, measure a complex amalgam of parts and functions. A single number may give you next to no information about how a particular machine will perform the specific task you want it to. Grace has compiled an overview look at the classic tests, Ziff-Davis' personal computer and network tests, SPEC, TPC (Transaction Processing Performance Council), AIM Technology, Neal Nelson and Associates, and other tests. He explains what the benchmarks are intended to measure, some details about what the actually look at, and, where appro... Rest of this review on the detail page
