Unix Secrets

Summary: No focus, every bit for every body
Review: This book is for every body, I mean for nobody. Some stuff is so simple even for a beginner as me. Some, on the other hand, are so specialized that I skipped all together. Unless you are already very versed in Unix, you won't get too much out of it. ( Why do you need it if you are already versed anyway?)

Summary: Stepping stone into the world of Unix
Review: 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.

Summary: Stepping stone into the world of Unix
Review: 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.

Summary: An introductory book
Review: This is the first book I bought for learning UNIX. I must say that I don't have any experience on UNIX before. I believe this is an introductory book rahter than the "intermediate to advanced" as claimed by the auothor. It really talks about UNIX, but it talks about many thing (internet, screen editors, etc) that relate to other OS as well (Mac, Windows NT, etc). I believe this book is for those readers who don't know anything about UNIX (like me), but definitely not for "intermediate to advanced user". A point to mention is that shell script is introduced at very beginning and this will confuse the beginners much (me again =).
