"The UNIX Programming Environment" shows the UNIX/Linux user how to get around
on a UNIX/Linux system using the command line.
Although the use of graphical user interfaces (GUI) have increased in popularity and functionality,
the ability to use the command line interface (CLI) is still a very powerful way to access the computer.
In the fast moving computer industry, it is surprising that this old book still have relevant information for Unix.
Authors are researchers from AT&T lab at the time and can feel the breath of OS creating research power.
Unix is mostly regarded as unfriendly for Windows users.
But, while reading this book, Unix feels easy and simple.
I got to like the idea of pipe.
It is ancient component model in text mode.
It is not for the beginner unix person - some frustration must be experienced at the command line to really appreciate this book.
Being a Kerninghan book, the writing style is clean, simple, logical, and easy-to-follow. It's an excellent first or second book for new Unix users. It also provides good background/motivational information, which helps you to understand why things are the way they are.
A definite must read.

There may be differences in commands depending on what distro you are running (Ubuntu/Fedora/ArchLinux etc) but nothing a bit of Googling won't take care of I'm sure.
This book is a great place to start learning the system from the bottom up & the inside out. If I can learn it, anyone can.
