Title: A Perfect Supplement for the *nix Novice
Product review: After using Linux and Solaris at different jobs for the past year, I had enough knowledge to get around and write my Perl programs. I bought 'Think Unix' to give me the background and understanding that would help me to become a 'Power User' with this OS. I was not disappointed.At first I was a bit wary of how basic the book starts off, but Lasser starts small and works his way up to some incredibly useful explanations of the seemingly endless amount *nix utilities. More importantly, the book lives up to its name, it teaches the reader to use utilities such as sed, awk & vi in a powerful way by incorperating pipes and I/O redirects.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to become a more effective *nix user, although it's important this person has a prior basic understanding.
