Negative Positive
Title: This book is fair. But there are better for beginners.
Review: Brutus is an honorable man. I use Sams books. And this book does what it says. In 24 hrs you can pass a test on what is UNIX. You get a lot of fundamentals without the reasoning behind the patterns. If you learn the concepts and patterns of UNIX it is easer than having to learn details. This book is actually used in some UNIX classes. Of course you need pre UNIX classes for CDE and post UNIX class on X windows and further classes on networks, and so on, and so on. Or you can get it all at the beginner level with "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Unix".
