Customer Reviews

It is a nice book and there are more options!

It is a good book and it may be quite useful for a beginner. It is little outdated on some subjects but by all means useful. Take a look on Linux and UNIX for a beginner training suite, 4DVDs + 2CDs includes 4 Unix Academy Certifications ed.2008 that is a real training class. For some reason the books is out of print. It deserves update and second edition.

Superb intro!

Well written and straight to the point. Quickly gets into "how to apply" mode with a good introduction. Has enough computer terminology & theory to let you know what's going on, and emphasizes practical side.

Best Thing I ever Did is Buy this Book

This an extremely easy to read book. It is enjoyable. She uses our common language. She made UNIX an interesting thing to learn. Please read just 2 pages and decide for yourself.
