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.

If you know nothing about UNIX OS, then this is the book for you. It's your easy way to become a Unix advanced user.

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.

This is an excellent book on how to use Linux or Unix. I recommend it as "The Book" for people starting with them.

While there are lots of books configuring and securing Linux, they do not tell how to USE Linux easily and efficiently after it is installed and configured. Stan's book does this wonderfully.

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.
