4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to UNIX for beginners, 11 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Learning the UNIX Operating System (In a Nutshell) (Paperback)
As a beginner to UNIX I found this a very useful introductory text. The book is short and concise but covers the basic UNIX concepts and commands. The typeface and layout are clear and easy to read and the book is a convenient size to use. I would recommend this book to anyone with no previous knowledge of UNIX who wants to learn the basics and be able to quickly start using a UNIX system. There is a reading list at the end for those readers who want to go on and learn more about the subject.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hmmmm! A bit thin!, 8 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Learning the UNIX Operating System (In a Nutshell) (Paperback)
Too many 'if's here. I understand that the different flavours of Unix contribute to this but couldn't help but be a lttle disatisfied with the end result. Also when a book implies that you need to ask someone at the desk next to you to find out how to do something, well, I might as well not buy the book and ask them how to use Unix.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic Indeed, 22 Oct 2005
This review is from: Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook Series) (Paperback)
It took me 30 mins to read the whole book in the tube. Before reading the book, I have already used some of the basic command. After reading it, I didn't really find it deepened my understanding about UNIX. It is too basic I think. Again depends what you are looking out of this book. It hardly mentioned Vi. If you want to learn Vi, buy a Vi book or get info over the net.
