4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Book.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Unix and Linux Lab Manual, Student Edition (Paperback)
I thought this book was an excellent reference. I like the fact that each command was followed by a definition, as well as several examples. The print was easy to read. The verbiage was not to complicated for my small brain.
