1) Plastic Comb Book UNIX for Dummies Quick Reference by For Dummies. When I review Unix books, I come from a totally non-techical perspective. I always look at it from a lay-person´s perspective, as someone who has to learn to use Unix because that is the only operating system available to use.
This is a handy referene book, if you have a basic knowledge of Unix, and are comfortable with using the OS. Sometimes, the explanations tend to be a bit lengthy, and that is something you will find in almost all Unix-related books. So, don´t despair if you are unable to follow through completely, reach out to a live person to help you. At least that person will know that you tried to solve the issue, before asking for their help.¤ 2) Plastic Comb Book UNIX for Dummies Quick Reference by For Dummies. Ok guys this book isn´t bad. It is very descriptive and well written. The problem is there´s much of water, long blah-blah-blah and so on. It takes too long to start and then looOOoong leaps from one real problem to another. But it is "for dummy" book it supposed to be like that with all explanations back to the beginning.
I have found here on Amazon training Linux and UNIX for a beginner training suite, 4DVDs + 2CDs includes 4 Unix Academy Certifications ed.2008. It is very cool one, straight to the subject, very useful. I coupled this book with DVD and I believe I learned more then my friend who attended $2000 class.
This book is good , but DVD is DVD, it is like you have class at home. This book is very useful though. When you start with UNIX it is like starting with violin:you have to practice every day and this book paired with the DVD gives much of what you will ever need.¤ 3) Plastic Comb Book UNIX for Dummies Quick Reference by For Dummies.
