Reader Reviews
I know someone who wants to learn Unix, so he picked up the book and I read it as well. I'd heard from a friend that Sam's Teach Yourself books were really good. I've been using Unix for over ten years, so I was curious to see what this book could show a beginner in '10 minutes'. I will say the lessons are intended to be short so you don't end up getting bored. The explanations are good, giving enough detail so you find out what you need to know. I was glad to see the book mentions how not to get frustrated if a particular command doesn't exactly work as you see in the book. There are many flavors of Unix nowadays so it's very possible each version may have the command that's being talked about but it may be just a bit different. I found a couple of commands that I hadn't heard of before (pushd and popd) so this old girl learned something too :-). I didn't give the book 5 stars because of its section on the editors available in Unix. The section on vi needed to show a few more basic commands plus maybe one or two tips. The vi editor can be hard for some because due to the structure of the commands. Overall, the book gives a newbie good information to get their feet wet. Once a newbie gets going and wants to dig in to Unix some more, I highly recommend the OReilly "Unix In A Nutshell" book. Once you get the feel of how Unix is structured, using the Nutshell book will make more sense.
