Having gone through many linux/unix books recently, I would agree with the above statement almost 100%. One notable exception though, and I rarely admit owning this in public (this is anonymous, right?) is the "UNIX for Dummies Quick Refrence Guide". It really sits on my desktop, well disguised of course, for those times when I just can't remember how to format a floppy or something equally silly. For even the full retail price of $14.99 u.s. it's not a bad tool for the newbie's. timo
