excellent introductroy book

For a beginner, this is an excellent introductory book. I specially like the disk which will enable a crude unix system to be available on the PC. Of course, more examples and excercises could be made available. I highly recommend it to all beginners.

Great for people just starting with Unix

This is a great book if you know nothing about Unix. It comes with a simulator program that is pretty good. It will run on almost any windows operating system. So if you are just starting with unix this is the book for you!

Good Book for beginners who don't have UNIX.

If you don't have UNIX, buy this book. It was made to run under dos or windows 3.1, but it runs under windows 95 good enough to learn the basics of UNIX.(Which would be all you would ever use unless you are a UNIX administrator.) I was a software tester and this is all I needed.
