    Question Where to start -- DBA moving from Windows to HP-UX

    I have been working as Oracle DBA under windows environment for a few years and now just moved to a company who use nothing but UNIX. The DB I'm going to work on now is a HP-UX box, while I know there are many other UNIX boxes as well, including solaris, AIX and LINUX (I know you can argue LINUX is not UNIX, but...).

    I have very limited experience on UNIX -- knowing how to use some common UNIX command and vi, but that's it. Other DBAs here are too busy to help me at this moment, but I can't just wait. What will be a good place for me to get started? I tried to located a good Oracle doc about this, but only found 'Getting Started for Windows' but not 'Getting Started for UNIX' -- guess most oracle DBAs are more familiar with UNIX than Windows. Any good book/website can help me on this?

    Any input will be greatly appreciated...

    Oracle Press, Oracle9i UNIX Administration Handbook (one of the very few Oracle Press books I'd recommend)

    UNIX Made Easy

    UNIX in a Nutshell (an O'Reilly book --> all O'Reilly books are good --> therefore, UNIX in a Nutshell is a good book)

    INSTANT UNIX

    UNIX Power Tools

    Look at www.bookpool.com for low prices.
