I love the GNU tools. While GNU might not be UNIX, it's certainly
comparable with UNIX. That makes literature about UNIX relevant
to the GNU tools we use today. There are a lot of GNU-specific
manuals and writing out there, but I still think these books and
memos contain interesting and inspirational writing that is
applicable today.
