Great Book

Not very often do you come across a book that is so informative and well put together. I actually checked this book out from the school library and fell in love with it after it held my hand through some relatively advanced system administration tasks. I would recommend this book to anyone that administers Unix machines. The only downside is that it is kind of dated (but not outdated).

Stepping stone into the world of Unix

This book should take you from being a Unix user to a learned Unix user. It is realy your second lesson( and perhaps the most important one ) about Unix and is a must for those who wish to stop wondering about how's and what's of Unix.

I could not be without this book.

The author is specific about the intended audience. If users have done their homework, Armstrong's book does the rest and more. This book has helped me on my job a LOT.

Superb. Author certainly know's his material

This is all I need to understand UNIX concepts. Well organized and extremely well-written. No cutesy "look at me" prose - just straightforward information with a lot of the author's personal zest! I loved it.

Cool BOOK

The best book about Unix I ever read
