This is one of those books that you wear out.... - By: dicksog, 04 Oct 2006 
Find a group of Unix System Admins & somewhere nearby will be this book. What's more they will probably all admit to using from time to time. It covers just about everything you need to the depth you need everyday, from scripting to awk & sed to 'how do you get vi to do this'. A purchase I've never regretted.
Very insightful UNIX introduction - By: , 22 Feb 2006 Well, once I have started with this book & it had been helpful & well guiding book. In is not the "only" book you will need. I have followed someone review's advice & paired this book with a "UNIX Essentials" DVD & they made a very effective couple. I found this DVD on Amazon.com but since they do not ship outside US I ordered it directly from CustomFlix.com
One way or another those people who pick book of this sort usually had no opportunity to attend some UNIX classes & the DVD alleviates this problem. May be it's just me,but when I pick a book & go through it I'm still no really confident. It does not matter how book is good, I'm never sure is it enough to make a claim that "I know UNIX". And this book along with the DVD had solved this issue to me. Book is easy to read & pleasure to follow. The examples & the explanations are very clear. So I liked this book very much.
