Product Description:
If you are new to UNIX, this concise introduction will tell you just what you need to get started and no more. Why wade through a 600-page book when you can begin working productively in a matter of minutes? It's an ideal primer for Mac and PC users of the Internet who need to know a little bit about UNIX on the systems they visit.
This book is the most effective introduction to UNIX in print. The fourth edition covers the highlights of the Linux operating system.

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

The X Win discussion though I thought could have been at the end of the book instead of the beginning.

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 ... Read More

I found this book nominally useful. I have found better references that give an easier way to learn UNIX and aren't such a drag to read. It is OK if you need a cross reference, but to understand and learn the system keep looking. I suggest UNIX Power Tools by Power, Peek, O'Reilly & Loukides.
