[gnu-sol-discuss] wanted introduction

[Christopher Arthur]

Hello,

I'm a new Solaris user (10) and generally a unix novice, but while I have managed to get the os running well on my laptop, there is still a whole lot that i don't know.  In particular, nothing that i compile with gcc ever seems to get to the end of the make without dying.  I won't ask specific questions about what i want to install, since i think my ignorance runs deeper than that.  My intent with using solaris is more or less experimental and educational.  

Can someone recommend a text giving an introduction or philosophy of software development on solaris or unix in general? 

 I know java quite well, but i find that this is really not helpful in understanding the world of C/C++.  Then again, part of me wants to try to get by in this universe without having to know C beyond the basic syntax.
