Written with a clear, straightforward writing style and packed with step-by-step projects for direct, hands-on learning, Guide to UNIX Using Linux, 4E is the perfect resource for learning UNIX and Linux from the ground up.

The updated 4th edition incorporates coverage of the latest versions of UNIX and Linux, including new versions of Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, and Ubuntu Linux. A new chapter has also been added to cover basic networking utilities, and several other chapters have been expanded to include additional information on the KDE and GNOME desktops, as well as coverage of the popular OpenOffice.org office suite. With a strong focus on universal UNIX and Linux commands that are transferable to all versions of Linux, this book is a "must-have" for anyone seeking to develop their knowledge of these systems.

[Jake Losh]

This book will teach you the basics of maneuvering around the shell and some basic shell programming, but it does so using very narrow examples that you have to follow along with quite dogmatically, rather than giving you the tools that help build your confidence. Also, some of the examples are just plain incorrect which is frustrating. I'm certain there are better texts out there.

I read this book as part of a class. The instructor bounced around between chapters and they order of information could have been improved.
