1. Installing software on unix

I am yet another UNIX Newbie.

I am primarily working with Linux, but will be working on Sun and
Tru64 systems.

I have been instructed to "Learn Unix".  With Linux as my test bed I
got sucked in to the world of RPM's.  I have come to the conclusion
that RPM's SUCK and don't want anything to do with them.

I am hoping someone can point me to a good reference book or, even
better, online sources for information on installing software on UNIX
os's.

Being that I am 'used' to RPM based installations.  I am also used to
the System V control scripts.  I am currently installing Bind 9.2.1
from scratch I have untared the file configured make and make
installed it but I don't have any control scripts.  Where does one
acquire the knowledge to write such scripts?

I appreciate any help offered!

Sincerely,
Vince
