T his, the fifth edition of this handbook, has
into the subject there are plenty of weightier
tomes out there to help.
It doesn’t cover any systems
administration and assumes that there is a
competent systems administrator around to
ensure that all is running as is should be. The
authors assume no prior knowledge of
computing so that many sections may seem a
bit too basic but, all the same, it is a useful
quick reference guide to basic Unix
commands and is easily navigated without
getting confused by all the detail that so
many user guides are full of.
been fully updated from the last edition
nearly four years ago. It now covers the pico
text editor, pine email, lynx Web browser, two
interactive chat programs and a chapter on
networking. Other sections have been
updated to cover newer systems and the
glossary and index have been expanded and
improved.
The book concentrates on teaching basic
commands to give the user a good grounding
on using their Unix system without
overwhelming them with detail. Exercises and
examples are included, as is a quick reference
card, to pull out and keep by your computer.

book will guide you through the maze and
help configure your system, as you want it.
Some chapters are more readable than
others, but on the whole this is a very
accessible work on a complex subject.
assumes that you want to be your own
systems administrator and it sets out to
give you the knowledge to do just that. It
opens with a useful comparison of the
different distributions with pros and cons
and contact Web sites, and continues with
ideas of where to find help, from the
manual pages of the program to
Usegroups.
The book goes into great detail right from
the start. It tries not to assume any particular
distribution is being used though this means
that some explanations are, perhaps, a little
more complex than they might otherwise
be. Having said that, the book is very user
friendly and talks you through installation
and use in a straightforward and
entertaining manner. Some chapters contain
sections on specific distributions; each
