Great to learn how to get around a Unix Shell

I got this book way back in the day (1994 I think) when I got my very first internet account. It was at collage and the only way I could access my email at the time was directly through a Unix interface with the server from a computer in the library. This was before my University finished putting connections in the dorm rooms. A lot of the information about Netscape, url's, and listsrvs are out of date in the copy I have. However, pretty much everything about using Unix (of which there is A LOT in this book) is invaluable and still applies. So if you are new to the Unix environment, and want to get started with it, check this book out. This book doesn't get the 5 stars I would have given it when I first got it, because it's rather dated. But it gets more then 3 stars because I'm starting to putter around inside a Unix Shell again and I'm really glad I kept this book. So if there's a newer edition out there go for it. But if not, it is still useful.
