it's a good start, but now that i'm home, i feel a need to "share"
some of my own library.  :)

for users:

* unix in a nutshell
authors: daniel gilly and the rest of the o'reilly staff
publication: o'reilly, 1992, isbn 1-56592-001-5
(it says svr4 on the cover but a lot of it still applies)

* 4.4bsd user's reference manual, user's supplementary documents, &
  system manager's manual

publication: o'reilly, 1994, isbn 1-596592-075-9, 1-56592-076-7, &
  1-56592-080-5

 here)
