5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Learning Tool and Reference Guide, December 1, 2000

Peach "jmp" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Understanding Unix (Paperback)

This book is great for novice users or occasional users of the Unix system. I have used this book for both purposes. The index makes it easy to find what exactly you need help with, the script writing clears up any ambiguity, and the highlighted warnings are absolute lifesavers. I would recommend this book to be in any office where Unix is used or any curriculum where Unix is thaught.

This review is from: Understanding Unix (Paperback)

This book took me from Alpha to Omega. I became an expert in UNIX by the time I finished reading this book and was arguing with all the freaking IT support technicians in our organisation. I also hacked the first server by the help of this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book
It's not one of those books that spend 25% of the book teaching you how to install it. If you have a shell account some where, this book is for you.
