1) Paperback Book Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook) by O´Reilly. This was an optional text for an Intro Unix/Linux course. I am so glad the required book is a lot better than this one. Some of the code samples are in the paragraphs and it is hard to tell what is text and what is a unix command. If I only had this text, I doubt I could get through the class. It provides no new information.
¤ 2) Paperback Book Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook) by O´Reilly. Excellent program - I just decided that I would not be able to use Linux while in school¤ 3) Paperback Book Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook) by O´Reilly. This book is a great book to start-up on your Unix commands. The examples re-iterate their meaning and I think this book is a great start to the world of Unix.
The X Win discussion though I thought could have been at the end of the book instead of the beginning.¤ 4) Paperback Book Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook) by O´Reilly. I didn´t know anything about Unix at all. After reading the reviews here, I decided on this book. It´s for beginners like me. After finishing the book and practicing the exercises, I believe that I´m ready to go to the next level. And I didn´t need any over-priced DVDs to go with it (and neither do you!)¤ 5) Paperback Book Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook) by O´Reilly. As someone who has only worked with Windows, the thought of needing to learn UNIX was daunting at first. I knew the power of the command prompt from the days of DOS, and needed somewhere to get a strong foothold. This book is an excellent place for newbies of UNIX to begin. It takes what any and every user will need and explains just enough to get simple jobs done. It leaves each topic explaining that there is much more, but that is beyond the scope of this book. O´Reilly set out to make a beginner´s guide, and that is what you should expect. Advanced users will be bored, but that isn´t who this book is aimed at. Doubled with "UNIX in a Nutshell", I have been able to find just what I need to get off to a good start. Highly Recommended!!!!¤ 6) Paperback Book Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook) by O´Reilly. If you´re new to Unix, this concise book will tell you just what you need to get started and no more. This fifth edition is the most effective introduction to Unix in print, covering Internet usage for email, file transfers, and web browsing. It´s an ideal primer for Mac and PC users who need to know a little about Unix on the systems they visit. The new edition also contains many major and minor updates to help the reader navigate Unix´s ever-expanding capabilities. In response to the popularity of Linux, the book now focuses on the popular bash shell preferred by most Linux users. A new chapter explains how to use ftp, pine for mail, and offers useful knowledge on how to surf the web. And the author has included tips throughout the text on security basics, especially in the Internet and networking sections. The book includes a completely updated quick reference card to make it easier for the reader to access the key functions of the command line.¤ 7) Paperback Book Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook) by O´Reilly. Part basic primer, part reference guide, this slim volume will make your life with UNIX much simpler. This book is specifically designed for those who are new to UNIX and contains neither introductory-level condescension nor advanced-level gibberish. Well-indexed and clearly mapped, Learning the UNIX Operating System will show you how to use and manage files and get your e-mail as well as how to perform more advanced tasks, such as redirecting standard input/output and multitasking your processes. Those new to the UNIX world will appreciate its concise presentation, and those reasonably familiar with UNIX will learn many new shortcuts, tricks, and tools. --Jennifer Buckendorff¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
