I've used "A Practical Guide to UNIX" by Mark Sobell in its various flavors over the years to teach a UNIX entry level course. This one is a little old (Practical Guide to UNIX for Max OS X Users": http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-UNIX-Mac-Users/dp/0131863339/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263251806&sr=1-10 I'd probably recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Commands-Editors-Programming/dp/0131367366/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263251806&sr=1-2 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
