What to read if you are new

If you are completely unfamiliar with SCO OpenServer (or UNIX systems), you should refer to these manuals:

• Operating System Tutorial -- covers the basics of the UNIX command line interface. Although many administration tools have sophisticated interfaces, you will often need to use the command line as well.

• Operating System User's Guide -- includes more advanced uses of the operating system. Pay particular attention to ``Working with files and directories'' and ``Controlling processes''. You will also benefit from an understanding of the material in ``An overview of the system''.

• Networking Guide -- explains the networking components, including TCP/IP, NFS, and so on.

• This book contains key information you need in the day-to-day operation of your system, including: ``Starting and stopping the system'' and ``Troubleshooting system-level problems''.
