great student book for beginner

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

Must have for students interested in learning UNIX!

This book is well put together, making it easy for someone new to computer programming to get a thorough understanding of Unix.

Very good workbook for UNIX beginners.

The book takes a workshop approach with very good exercises to reinforce the chapter material. This is, by far, the best text available for new users of UNIX who want to learn how to get around in the operating system quickly. It is precise and our new users prefer it to anything else available.
