3.0 out of 5 stars A good buy for the beginner, 15 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX for Dummies (For Dummies) (Paperback)
Anyone with a modicum of experience in using UNIX will undoubtedly find this book a waste of time. However, for the rest of us 'dummies' this is an entertaining look at the basics (very basic) of the operating system. OK, within a couple of months of using UNIX I found its usefulness waning, but I still make reference to it from time to time - and no doubt will continue to do so. A good buy for the beginner - like me !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful book with a lamen approach in teaching a user on Unix, 17 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX for Dummies (For Dummies) (Paperback)
Getting to grips with Unix for the first time is a daunting prospect, more so as I have come from a VMS background!! The book proved to be useful in teaching the basics of Unix without dropping me in the deep end from the word go. I will always keep this book on my desk as I will no doubt be refering to it in the months to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Decent book, 12 May 2006
By Sam Morton (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
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 training DVD "UNIX Essentials" by UnixAcademy that nobody knows about. I found this DVD on Amazon.com but since they do not ship outside US I ordered it directly from
