Reader Reviews
I borrowed several books including the first edition of this book to get to learn the basics of UNIX. I rate this one the best of the lot for an intro book. It got me up to speed and productive in a UNIX development envirnoment quickly. It covers all the basics commands plus the C-shell. There was no information on ksh. It gives an overview of vi which I hate, but did not mention textedit which is my choice for a GUI script editor. If you are an advanced user you should skip this book. For a beginner it is great.
