Very nice introduction book

It is very smooth introduction book and it walks trough some essential subjects in UNIX. As any introduction book it is way far from the real life and if you would feel that you need more try Linux and UNIX for a beginner training suite, 4DVDs + 2CDs includes 4 Unix Academy Certifications ed.2008. If you an absolute novice with UNIX this book will work well because it is well written and easy to read. I would definitely recommend this one to have one's feet wet with UNIX.

A good intro

This book covers many topics of the classic introductory topics in Unix, in some depth. It's geared towards users in a corporate or academic network, rather than home users of a Unix varient, but it provides a good deal of information in an easy to read format. If you're starting out, this is a good book to pick up.Oh, and his lectures are interesting. He's an oddball.

Excellent way to get started on learning UNIX!

"Introduction To UNIX" is extremely well laid out and makes learning UNIX much easier than other approaches. Definitely a must-have for anyone into programming!
