Summary: Good Tutorial & Reference
Review: I needed this book to get up to speed for a course that used UNIX. I now have a good enough knowledge of the system to do simple scripts and a referece at my fingertips. Everything is explained clearly and quickly. It's the smartest $20 you can spend ona UNIX book!

Summary: Good for Beginners, but...
Review: This book is a great book if you're starting out UNIX, which it was for me. However, it doesn't show you much in the way of UNIX's programming enviroments for other languages (C, C++, etc.). But because of the really nice reference that this book supplies, it'll most likely stay on my shelf for a very long time. And one more note - the author tends to be biased towards SCO Unix (now part of Caldera) and will, from time to time, incorporate SCO-only commands.

Summary: Good Reference Book
Review: This book, I have found, is not especially conducive to reading straight through. However it serves my purposes as a refence tool quite well. The last 500 pages are nothing but explanations of the [most] commands available in UNIX. There are very few examples in this area of the book though. Overall, page for page, I think you'll find this book gives you the most quantitative and qualitative information for your buck.

Summary: An indispensible book for Linux novices
Review: This is the first computer book ever to make me cheerful reading it. The book proceeds slowly and carefully through the essentials of Unix. No flummery, no witchcraft. Everyone with a MS-DOS background who is starting out into Linux , as I am, should start with this book.

Summary: Excellent book as a 1st
Review: This is the the first unix book I bought. I love it a lot. It teaches you the fundamentals of how to use the operating system. With a desktop reference of commands, utilites, and terms you will refer to this book for years. You are getting a robust amount of information of unix for your dollar.
