MATERIAL TO KNOW FOR QUIZ #1

Generally, you should be able to define, discuss, and explain
the use of, the things mentioned below.  Also, be able to
answer any explicit questions given here.  If you do all that,
you will have no trouble with the quiz.

There will be quiz questions in various "short" formats.  For
example: "short essay", "multiple choice", and "true/false".

Numbers given in parentheses () here are page numbers referring
to the Unix book by Todino, Strang, and Peek.  Numbers in square
brackets [] refer to Krol's Internet book.  The page numbers are
only meant to HELP you access the topics.  I don't promise that
EVERY page you need to study is listed here.  I will try to
discuss in class any of the topics below that are not covered
sufficiently in TSP or Krol.
