Summary: CURSED BY CARELESS ERRORS
Review: An otherwise concise introduction that is offset by an large number of careless editing errors.The novice UNIX user should be aware that a number of the text's practise examples contain sytax errors and omissions which will prevent the programs from running properly--it will exasperate you until you figure out the errors. THIS TEXT BOOK NEEDS A THOROUGH SCRUBBING BEFORE IT CAN BE CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE COLLEGE TEXT BOOK

Summary: UNIX Unbounded: A Beginning Approach
Review: Frustrating and exhausting reading. If you want to decipher the author's poor English, inconsistencies, incomplete examples and incorrect examples, then have at it. Seems like an attempted translation into English. Totally worthless for technical training. Author's good intention to provide tutorial sessions failed miserably with typos and syntax errors. If your professor is using this so-called textbook: Buy Another Unix Textbook. You'll be better off. Waste of my time and $.

Summary: Too Many Typos
Review: Overall a good introduction to the Unix Operating System, but the typographical errors are unforgiveable. The command line orientation of Unix is cumbersome enough without mistyped examples. Potentially frustrating for first time users, this book is in dire need of revision.

Summary: great student book for beginner
Review: Yes it has some typos, but get real, some of these reviews are ridiculous.This is a great Book to learn UNIX, even the best I'd say.
It really starts from scratch and even gets into some Shell programming and scripts. I was impressed with the content, and being a Programmer analyst I will say it is an excellent book for those people starting out. I also like the Oreilly UNIX in a nutshell for a good reference. IF those Unix "gurus" complaining could just shed some light on what is the best book then??? typical
