Excellent book for getting off the ground.
Anyone or two of these books would cost more than this six-pack. And the CD-ROM is good for cut-and-paste operations. The nice thing about this set is that as things progress and you diversify into other subjects, like Perl, you never lose the core skills that are displayed on this CD. The vi editor is always present and more powerful than the fads like emacs, which will be, replaced in due time. And yes, I think each shell has its strength; however, after the Bourne shell, The Korn shell is the most prolific. Now for those that think the tcsh and bash shells are in now are already behind as most shells regardless of what you type are based on the POSIX.2 standard. Even though I have a gazillion reference books, this is nice because it is online.
