HP-UX has taken off in popularity. As a result of this popularity there are many new HP-UX users. Some of these new HP-UX users have direct experience with other operating systems but have no direct experience with UNIX. Others have learned HP-UX “the hard way” , by experimenting. Still others have taken an HP-UX training course but are now relying on generic UNIX books to learn HP-UX. Learning the HP-UX Operating System is for all of these users.
This book doesn't waste a lot of time with the background of UNIX and comparing various UNIX implementations. Instead, the author gets right to what you need to know to be a productive HP-UX user.
The chapters in this book contain useful information and have names such as: Login and Password; The HP-UX File System; File System Related Commands; HP-UX Tools; HP-UX Networking; and Shell Programming.
This book leaves no stone unturned. From the basics such as login and password to advanced topics such as shell programming you'll be exposed to everything you need to be quickly productive with HP-UX.

Fine book for Beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learning the HP-UX Operating System (Paperback)
I would recommend this book for people who are just beginning to learn HP-UX. Very well written and provides the basic concepts of HP-UX. I would not recommend it for Admins or power users of HP-UX. There are better sources out there for these types of users.

Great guide for non-unix users,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learning the HP-UX Operating System (Paperback)
As a system administrator for a large site, I bought 20 copies of this book to hand out to my users who want a simple intro with good reference value. My users are engineers who need to know just enough unix to get their job done.

3.0 out of 5 stars
It's only a beginers book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learning the HP-UX Operating System (Paperback)
This is book is only good for introduction. Print is very sparce. 309 pages doesn't contain much information. Intelligent use of paper would have made this book 200 page if not much less. In one chapter, describing ls -r command, the system responce of almost five pages is given when only couple of lines of result would have served the purpose. Only chapter "HP Visual User Environment "(17 Pages), has some information particular to HP-UX. Other info can be found in any unix book.
