Good book that is not a Linux/Unix book

Don't let the 1994 publish date scare you away. This book is pretty good. One of the few books that isn't filled with Linux hype/fluff. Looks pretty SunOS/Solaris based as far as screen shots. But covers 4.3BSD. The examples are clear and concise.

v good for a beginner

This book is good for the "newbie" to the UNIX OS. It explains concepts very clearly starting from the simple ones and goes onto the more complicated concepts. Ive given 4 stars since it lacks the quality on the SED chapter - v. little material and v. complicated too. Need to use simpler examples in the beginning. OTW, its an excellent beginners book.

Definitely worthy the money

A very well written book for the beginners trying to understand Unix. Much better than many other Unix books competing for the same audience.
