Ann Arbor is wrong

Well for the person who stated that the command line syntax in this book is incorrect, is completely wrong for the fact that Solaris is pretty much Suns's version of unix. She is correct about them not working on Solaris though. This book is excellent and well indepth. If you are looking for a great place to begin your foundation on unix, this is it. But I would recommend using it on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HP UX, and a few others, Solaris is not recommended

Great book for the beginner and intermediate alike

I use this book to teach Unix Introduction at a community college.It is one of the best books that I have found that teach the concepts of UNIX as well as providing a great overview of UNIX.I would suggest this book to ANYBODY who wanted to get a firm foundation of the UNIX operating system.

not a bad exercise for a unix newbie

as a unix newbie(job forced me into it) if found working thru the exercises a very helpful drill and practice. I'd recomend it to any new unix user. It was much easier than plowing thru man pages.
