I pondered that.  The fat books that transitioned me (*) from
Windoze to BSDI, then BSDI to Redhat Linux, were Evi Nemeth's
"Unix System Administration Handbook", editions 1 and 3.

There is a 5th and probably final 2018 edition - I just 
ordered a used copy, to torment those who dispose of my 
books after I die.  I wondered, what became of Evi Nemeth?

In 2001, Dr. Nemeth retired to her sailboat and sailed the
world - a long long way from her CU-Boulder professorship.
In June 2013, she and the crew of the vintage yacht Niña
were lost in a huge storm in the Tasman Sea between New
Zealand and Australia.  Sigh.

(*) Now I transition to Ubuntu from Redhat, another great
community monetized to ruin by "the suits".  Ubuntu is 
Debian in a tight skirt with red lipstick.  When some bastard
figures out how to monetize and ruin Debian, I'm doomed.
