Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc.

Publishers of pocket reference cards and Linux Journal

SSC publishes pocket references and CD-ROMs about Linux, UNIX and the Internet, as well as the monthly magazine, Linux Journal and the bi-monthly magazine Embedded Linux Journal.

SSC was established in 1968 to provide systems design, training and consulting services to organizations using computers. SSC has specialized in the UNIX operating system since 1980.

Filling the gap in complete and concise information sources, in 1983 SSC started publishing UNIX and C pocket-sized reference cards, reference books and tutorials.

Linux Journal, the monthly magazine of the Linux community, was introduced by SSC in 1994 and for five years was the only magazine devoted entirely to the Linux operating system. In 2000, as the use of Linux in embedded devices grew, Embedded Linux Journal was launched. Some of SSC's many products include:

SAMBA: Integrating UNIX and Windows, John Blair
The Artists' Guide to the Gimp, Michael J. Hammel
Effective Awk Programming, Arnold Robbins
Inside Linux, Randolph Bentson
Bash Reference Card
HTML Reference Card Package
Java Reference Card Package
VI Reference Card and tutorial
UNIX System V Command Summary

SSC's publications are sold through bookstores and national distributors.
